Those Summers

By Aliki

Book Overview

Remember those days of sand castles and sunburns, of saltwater taffy and sand-drenched sandwiches? Remember how the cousins would romp inthe waves, and roll inthe hot sand like fish cakes? And on rainy days everyone stayed inside and read or played games? At night it was long walks on the board walks, Ferris wheel rides and sticky cotton candy. Those are the days that Aliki calls back in this heartfelt remembrance of one special summer vacation by the shore. Pile into the car, and journey to the seashore with Aliki.

Memories of childhood summers at the beach

This book is the story of a family's summer at the beach-house, and their not-so-lazy days on the beach and in the water playing. My two and a half year old loves me to read this book to her. When she was two, our family took a vacation to the beach, and this book captures the essence of our vacation. The book allows us to share our time at the beach and all the new adventures we had all over again. The book is filled with wonder and excitement. The illustrations perfectly compliment the story, and are colorful and fun. My daughter has asked me to read the book to her dozens of times.
