Picture Book Pick: Here Comes Ocean

 


Here Comes Ocean
by Meg Fleming
Illustrations by Paola Zakimi 
Beach Lane Books
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division
2020 
40 pages 
ISBN: 9781534428834

A boy and his playful puppy enjoy a day at the beach in this fun rhyming picture book. Putting his toes in the sand, the boy meets a friendly crab and spots bird tracks left by sand pipers. A big wave crashes over the boy and his dog but they are still happy and safe. The boy and his family to watch the sunset and tells the ocean goodnight.

Beautiful illustrations b Zakimi show the sea's creatures and every shade of blue and green and in between highlight the beauty of a day at the beach. End papers have each sea creature and its name.  A picture book does not have to teach a lesson or morals. Here Comes Ocean captures a family outing, a memorable moment a child will always remember. 

Highly recommended ages 2 and up.
