From the Publisher

The subtitle uses the word cool which may be a comment on its value or its content. Since the book focuses on the beach where it is usually hot, then cool must refer to its value. And it actually is a cool or good book. While wordless, the big bold numbers accentuate the lesson—counting. The items are all related to a day at the beach. It starts with one big beach umbrella and then offers the numbers from one to ten which include items such as four sandals, six shovels and pails full of sand and finally ten crabs. The requisite number of items is on each page or spread. An interesting feature is the closing spread which contains a number of discussion starters relating to each of the pages. There is also a code to scan for free coloring pages as well as an Internet address where more activities can be found. The back cover has another code to scan for other books in the series. Perfect for preparing little ones for a beach outing. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
