Seaside Stroll
by Charles Trevino (Author) Maribel Lechuga (Illustrator)
A child, a doll, and an adult go for a walk on the beach one late afternoon of a cold winter day, before heading home to dinner and a bedtime story.
Go on a snowy, sandy shore walk in a story where every single word starts with the letter S! Explore the beach in winter in this story told through clever language. During a sunset beach saunter, a girl stumbles and drops her doll into a tidal pool. Soaked! Celebrating the natural silence of an off-season location, the surf and sand are brought to life through this engaging story.

Starred Review
One striking scene is a spread full of seabirds taking off as the girl approaches. “Super!” Splendid for storytimes or snuggles. (Picture book. 3-7).
ALA/Booklist
Starred Review
LeChuga's captivating illustrations, a splendid mix of digital drawings and watercolor textures, evoke both the vast emptiness of a beach in winter and the activities to be found there upon closer inspection; a teeming tidepool is particularly striking. It's just the thing for a wonderful, wintery read-aloud.
None
Full of incident and sensory experience, this is a satisfying and rewarding small adventure. A note on the use and arrangement of the words used in the text, and the beginnings of a list of things one might find on a beach in winter, complete the book.
