With no distractions, a bond can be built between a father and a daughter that can last a lifetime. This book embodies those moments that can stay with children for their entire lives

My Review: This is a very cute book.  Dad picks up his little girl after school and they go on a date and visit the beach.  The dog, Beegee comes along.  The three of them play in the ocean,  build a sand castle, and everything else fun you can do at the beach.  I read this book to my second graders and they loved it.  I think they could relate to it because the author is from San Diego and we also live in Southern California.  I don’t think the students I had in the midwest would relate to this book though.  The book is written with rhyming words and I like that in a book because it leaves room for interaction and prediction. The illustrations by Manuela Pentangelo do a good job supporting the text.  I like the emphasis on father and daughter.  I would like to see more of this!
