A summer classic by two masters reissued and redesigned for contemporary audiences.

Wendell Minor’s elegant artwork and Charlotte Zolotow’s simple, evocative prose bring a day at the beach vividly to life as a boy and his mother imagines what it would be like to spend a day at the seashore. Hunting for seashells and building sandcastles, this tribute to the power of imagination and the tenderness of a mother-child connection is also a sweet ode to summer's greatest pastimes. Perfect for storytime or bedtime.

“海边是什么样的？”一个住在山里的小男孩，有一天这样问他的妈妈。他从来没有见过大海，但却心向往之。假如你就是小男孩的妈妈，你该怎样回答孩子的这个问题？

作者夏洛特·佐罗托的回答温暖了全世界孩子的心。她用妈妈的爱，用极富诗意和暖心的文字向让孩子讲述了一个平静、惬意的梦幻海滨。那里有螃蟹、飞机，有薄荷般冰凉的海水，也有远方的灯塔、海鸥和五彩的贝壳。从那以后，孩子只要闭上眼睛，就能回到那片美丽的海滩。这不只是一个简单的幻想故事，而是用文字从听觉、视觉、嗅觉、触觉和味觉五感上解决了孩子对大海的所有疑问。
