Mason and his cousin are headed to a new beach with their aunt Molly. But when Molly takes them to a tide pool, Mason is disappointed. There's no sand, just lots and lots of rocks. Will anything save this beach day?
This is an "early" graphic novel and it provides instructions on how to read graphic novels. It is a story about an aunt taking her niece and nephew to the tide pools. The nephew is bothered because he expects the beach to be a swimming beach, but he soon discovers that tide pools are fun too. I may have given it an extra star simply because I have always loved tide pools. I think this is an nice intro to tide pools for young children.
