Review

A pudgy, pug-like looking bunny decides it's a great day to go to the beach and he is bringing his pet goldfish along. He and his friends including silly man with an equally silly hat, a too-tall dog head out on a rollicking bus to the beach. Along the way he meets lots of new friends including an octopus who immediately jumps into the goldfish bowl with his new friend. They all splish and splash, float like boats, fly kites and run faster than the wind until the day is done and they all hop the bus back home in the orangey and pink twilight. The illustrations are in watercolor ink, the hues intense and the characters comical and flamboyant. The print is clear and just the right size for reading.

Overall Book Score: very good
