At the Beach

Duck's day at the beach comes in the form of a padded cloth book with a sturdy zipper, a handle, and a flap. When closed tight, the book is transformed into a small carrying case. When toddlers lift the flap, they see the sun shining down on the duck as he plays in the sand. Unzip the case, open the pages, and kids will discover Duck's summer cottage, a tiny detachable beach bag, and a cloth trunk holding beach playthings. Outside on the beach they'll find a souvenir stand--and every scene includes padded cloth beach items attached to pages with Velcro tabs, or moved from one page to the next as Duck enjoys his day at the beach.
