They found it! A little boy and his grandfather went to the beach and found a tide pool that they explored. With a lot of hard work, they found they had made a large, beautiful sand castle. They found a baby seal, that they untangled from a net. Then they found his home, after a lot of difficulty. Together they found a wonderful world under the ocean that they explored. Most of all, they found that an older man, and a little boy have a lot to give each other. Between the pages of this picture book, is a sweet story that is full of the joy. Children will adore the big day the grandfather and grandson have, and what they have found together, love. The illustrations are playful, are done by the author, and will bring lots of giggles. Children ages two-through-seven will enjoy this five-star, beautiful book. I highly recommend it! Thank you, Candlewick Books, for providing Tickmenot with a book to review. Opinions are my own.
