"Text and picturs mesh beautifully. Toddlers will love the uncomplicated story, while older preschoolers will be involved in guessing what must be left behind. An absolute delight."

"This clever guessing-game story will sharpen observation skills in a fun way. Roxanne sets off for the beach with five things: a turtle, an umbrella, a book, a ball, and a baby. When her car won't start, resourceful Roxanne tries alternate methods of transportation. Each time something has to be left behind, and youngsters are asked to identify the item. The illustrations play a key role, and Tharlet's perky pictures are up to the challenge. Interactive fun."
