Backpack Explorer: Beach Walk

And this was part of that set, and again he sits on his little bed. He’s got all the books around him in a circle and he goes through every single book over and over and over. He just loves those books.

This is our 3rd of these books. We have the nature trail & bug editions as well. They’re simply the best! We have a 3.5 year old who loves the outdoors, and we’re getting ready to have a beach vacation next month. Not only are they informational with things like shell, seaweed & marine life identification (as well as plants, birds etc), but they inspire creativity (which admittedly I lack sometimes). For example it discusses things you can do in the sand - why have I never thought of hopscotch at the beach?! It recommends adding cute things like rocks and shells to your sand castles, making shell art & sundials, getting your senses involved like smelling & touching, life cycles of some animals you can find on the beach like crabs… I can go on and on. Truly, this book and every one in the series is worth your money. You’re guaranteed to learn a thing or two, as well.

My kids love this book and still do, they constantly look over and reminisce over our trip and what we saw and asked if we can go see other things that are in the book. It is just fun and full of learning, I wish I would have hid it before the trip because my kids did absolutely every activity they could before we got to the beach, and lost the magnifying glasses which is fine strangely enough I actually have extra. But it would have made a really good surprise. And I can't take away stars for that.

This book had nice pages, covers alot of sealife. I especially like the magnifying glass which adds so much interest to the book.,

I boughtvthis for my 4 year old grandson to take on his beach vacation. He enjoyed the pictures and the activities that were suggested in each chapter. Although I wasn't with him on the vacation he did talk about what he saw on the beach each day. Hopefully he'll use again sometime.

We live by the beach. My granddaughter who is 7 came to visit. I thought this would be the perfect book to teach her about all the wonderful creatures on the beach and in the ocean and something we could do together. It had select stickers too when we finished a section. This book was perfect. She took it home with her.

My children are 3 &5. This book is a great resource when we are camping at the beach and doing aquariums. We live in Northern California and most of this is very relevant to our area. If you lived or planned a beach stay (a couple of days on the beach, not a single day visit) this would be great for your small children. Probably good up to 8-10years depending on how involved of a parent you are and able to adjust the curriculum to their level.

Just a great educational book that’s well designed and accurate. Purchased some binoculars to go with it and very happy!

I love these books. Photos, art work and activities simple and age appropriate.
