This was a sweet book of a young girl and her summer with her grandfather. Not a lot of words to this so a very simple read. we had more fun looking at the pictures and discussing what we can look for and do on the beach. The kids loved all her little treasures she collects in this book. Also a great lesson is held within. loved the illustrations and the imaginative simplicity to everything. This is a calm read and even if you don't life in near a beach the lesson is still valid and the treasures can be substituted for what to find at a park, etc.
TempeStina è un bellissimo albo illustrato per bambini che racconta e sottolinea il bellissimo rapporto che può nascere tra nipote e il suo caro nonno.
Stina, infatti, è una bambina molto curiosa e intraprendente. Le piace tanto recuperare vecchi oggetti sospinti a riva dal mare e immaginare e scoprire come è fatto il mondo.
We're working away through the "1,001 Children's Books You Must Read Before You Grow Up" list - at least, all of the ones available at our library, which is only about 50% so far. This is a simple story about a girl who spends summer vacation with her grandfather collecting little odds and ends and watching a storm. It's not a particularly poetic telling, and there isn't much of a plot, but my daughter liked it and asked me to read it twice. It's quiet, gentle - a reassuring read.
Lena Anderson is awesome, this is such a sweet book. A curious youngster spends the summer with her grandfather at his house by the sea, goes exploring, finds all kinds of interesting things, learns about facing a fear at the end. Does a great job illustrating a child's captivation with newness and the natural world. Fantastic pictures.
My kids liked this little picture book about Stina, who stays with her grandfather in his beach house one summer. She collects little treasures that wash up along the shore and one evening, without asking her grandfather, ventures outside during a storm. Just enough suspense for my 6-year-old. Sweet story.
A 1001 CBYMRBYGU. Stina goes to stay with her grandfather who lives near the ocean. Stina beachcombs and finds many small treasures. Then, one day, a big storm arrives. Stina’s grandfather cannot find Stina. He finally locates her out on the beach, hoping to experience the storm. She is not happy about it until her grandfather helps her dress more appropriately for the weather.
The little illustrative details in the text add so much delight to the story. The illustrations take you straight to a summer delighting in the treasures of the seashore!
A nice read for a beginning reader, this sweet picture book is about a young girl visiting her grandfather in the summer and the treasures that can be found by the sea.
Lovely book about a girl visiting her grandfather at the seaside. She is someone who loves to look around her and collect things from the shore. It seems to celebrate looking for beauty all around.
