I think this book would be perfect for an end of the school year book to het the students excited for summer and maybe any future vacations they may have. This book is definitely meant for lower grade levels such as kindergarten-1st grade. ( )

I would use this in a first grade class at the end of the school year just for fun.

I would use this book this book with lower grade levels such as kindergarten or first grade as it is very repetitive and the words chosen are very simplistic and would be much too easy for older grade levels to read. With this book, it would be easy to have the students make connections about their favorite vacations or their ideal vacations. I would also have them practice their inferring skills based on what they think would happen next based on the illustrations.

I would use this for a kindergarten or 1st grade class due to the simple vocabulary and storyline. This is a good book to introduce poetry to younger students because it rhymes and is something most students can relate to. For a kindergarten class I would read this out loud and talk with the class about what they see in the pictures. As a class I would have them use the illustrations to make a list of things we find at the beach and make a list on the board. I would then have them draw a picture of something they might do if they were on the beach. If I used this book for a 1st grade class I would focus on the rhyming words and have the students pick out words on each page that rhymed. I would write out two words from the story that rhyme and show them broken down the parts that make the words rhyme. I would then have them come up with other words that rhyme and do the same thing with those words on the board. I would then give them a matching sheet where they matched rhyming words that had pictures next to them to give them a clue if they struggled reading the words.
