pick4 🌟 This is a redeeming story that would be immensely fun story time. About a Sandcastle who get squished and has to rebuild themselves and gets frustrated and they get squished again, but they find out that when you have a friend The rebuild is better and stronger. I love the mess in this book. I love the artwork in this book and this book just works. I understand why it is on many best books lists for 2024.
Hey friends!! So I've been looking at my life and my upcoming schedule, and I am going to pause #RandomClassics definitely for January, and maybe longer, kind of depending. We're thinking about moving (!!!!!) plus we are going out of town in January, so there is a lot going on 😂 I still have a huge list of classics I would like to read, and I have really enjoyed reading these with you all, but for now I need to skip a month!! I'll let everyone ⬇
This book would be great to explain homophones to older grades as the title is a play on words. There is also personification as the main character draws the tail in the sand- “swish-swoosh.” There is also repetition throughout the story.
so-soA Beach Tail by Karen Lynn Williams published in 2010 follows a young main character as he creates a drawing in the sand who he names Sandy. The pictures are of the perspective of the young boy as he continues on and on with the tail of Sandy. The almost grainy looking illustrations help bring a nostalgic feel to the picture book. In the end, Sandy becomes more useful than just a fun activity.
Since this book was about a dog, trying to find his calm, I would use this book to help with my student social emotional development as a whole class lesson.
