Book Reviews of One White Wishing Stone: A Beach Day Counting Book
Book Review: Beautiful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love this artist's work (Kristina Swarner) which is what led me to purchase the book. That and my love of the seaside... The art in the book is beautiful and, in my opinion, the standout feature. The story is sweet, too. A very simple, rhyming tale of seaside objects that are counted one to ten. Recommended for art lovers, mothers of young daughters (sons too, although the story features a girl), and seaside lovers.
Summary of One White Wishing Stone: A Beach Day Counting Book
National Geographic Books present a delightful new title that is sure to become a children's summer classic.Writer Doris Gayzagian and illustrator Kristina Swarner have collaborated to produce a magical, poetic counting book. A mother and child's day at the beach is brought to life in 32 beautifully illustrated pages of simple verse, capturing every child's delight in the natural joys of the seashore.
The young girl and her mother make their first footprints in the sand early on a summer morning. The child's mind is soon swept up in exploration and discovery as she eagerly counts all the newfound natural wonders of the seashore.
Each fresh page shines brightly with the magic sparkle of a child's summertime: from arriving and setting up a sun umbrella?to splashing around in a tide pool?to lovingly building a sandcastle decorated with seashells and feathers?to the return home and tucking into bed. In the evocative ebb and flow of words and pictures, the learning of names and the counting of beach creatures and the ocean's flotsam becomes a shared journey of discovery and joy for parents and young children.
Kristina Swarner's illustrations will transport young imaginations to the wonderland of sea, sand, and sun. Once there, young readers and listeners will learn to name this world through the comforting repetition and engaging simplicity of Doris Gayzagian's rhymes. This is the perfect summer book for children, and parents, who relish the delight of discovery and the endless fascination of long, hot days at the shore.
