On a visit to the beach with her family, Jules is excited to build a sandcastle...but it seems like the ocean is out to get her. Finally, with her sister's help, Jules builds an epic sandcastle and learns that it's about the process not the product.

I love Jessie Sima's work and this is no exception. A great primer on overcoming frustrating circumstances. The page filling onomatopoeia makes for great fun.

A very fun and cute book. The art draws you in as well as the story. I even had a few giggles. Main girl is young and funny. She just wanted to impress her sister. Also love that the older sister is so sweet to the younger one.

This is a fun, summery read. I am so deeply not a beach person that I couldn't quite get there but it was cute and would be a good story time read with all the sound effects.

Have you ever been in a fight with something and you can't win? Try getting into a battle with the ocean!

A cute and fun way to teach your kids how to handle frustrating situations and when to ask for help. Highlights sisters in a positive light and overall has wonderfully fun illustrations.

Not today, Ocean. Jules and her family are spending a day at the beach and Jules is determined to build the biggest, best sandcastle ever. One problem? The ocean. The ocean keeps sneaking up and washing away her sandcastle! Can Jules figure out a solution and impress her sister with an amazing sandcastle? This is a super cute book that's great for summer and vacation season. It's told with a dry humor that perfectly compliments the humorous moments in the illustrations. Add this to your summer displays and summer reading book lists.
