"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."
