Fun in the Sun - (I Like to Read) by David Catrow (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A hapless dog frolics in the sun and sand on a perfect beach day. It's fun in the sand, but now there's sand in his lunch and sand in his suit. Time for a dip in the water! The dog splishes, splashes, and rides the waves; it's fun in the water too. As the sun goes down, he flies a kite with new friends. Fun in the sky! But did he remember sunscreen?
David Catrow's zany illustrations make this dog's day in the sun anything but ordinary.
