Sand Castle

by Brenda S. Yee, Thea Kliros (Illustrator)

Jen was building a sand castle. "Can I help?" asked a boy with a bucket. And that was just the beginning. Each new helper knew exactly what the castle needed: a moat, a wall, a path, a road. The castle grew higher and more magnificent. The five new friends were filled with admiration. And then it was time to go home. But how could they leave it? It was Jen, the first builder, who knew just knew just what to do...

Another good Orff/instruments book for a music class. New friends build a sand castle together.

[Janae]

This is a very simple story about building a sandcastle at the beach with newly made friends. It's great for a child who is new to beach life and while illustrating the various components of a sand castle, shows how the beach is a great place for communal play.

Very simple story of building a sand castle with different kids joining and taking on different tasks to build the best sand castle.

Fun book. Cooperation.

[Erin]

A girl starts making a sand castle by a lake. A bunch of other kids want to help. Each one adds to the castle in their own unique way.

Good for preschool or toddler storytimes.

Simple story of cooperation and friendship with a diverse cast of characters, great for reading aloud.
