[Little Seesaw · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is so happy. It is so care free and nostalgic about a little girl going to the beach with her mom and dad. Before they leave to the beach dad is washing the car and he sprays her with the hose. On the way to the beach she has to sit on her towel. I loved the simple details.

The very first book I remember reading. My grandmother kept it on the bottom shelf of the divider between her dining room and living room.
