When the ocean waves bring a boy a shovel, he begins to dig, and discovers, shells, a crab. starfish, and even a dog underground. He spends the rest of the day/evening looking at the stars with the dog and his brother? Dad?
The illustrations tell this great minimally worded story about a fun day on the beach. For a beginning reader, this is perfect. The illustrations give great context - no surprises, and there's lots of room for the child's imagination to fill in story.
