Ty’s Travels: Beach Day

Ty turns an ordinary day in the sandbox into a fun beach day. He wiggles his toes in the sand, finds seashells, builds a castle, and splashes in the ocean. Splish, splash! When his neighbor’s beach ball flies into his backyard, Ty learns that a beach day is even better with a friend. 

As Ty plays in his sandbox he imagines being at the beach. While Ty is using his imagination, the illustrations look like coloring book pages, which makes it easy to distinguish what is real and what is imaginary. The book encourages kids to use their imagination by asking, “What will they see next?”  

Ty’s Travels is part of the My First I Can Read Series, which uses basic language, word repetition, and illustrations that are ideal for shared reading. Each page has one to three simple sentences with large, brightly colored illustrations. Plus, the cute illustrations will help young readers understand the plot. 

Ty’s Travels: Beach Day is perfect for young readers who love playing outside. The story shows readers how they can have fun playing outside by walking like a crab, eating a popsicle, hitting a ball, etc. Throughout the book, Ty’s father appears and plays along with Ty, reinforcing the idea that a parent can be part of the fun.
