Provides hours of fun for young children. A perfect gift before a beach excursion, chock full of educational opportunities. Learn about high and low tide, tidal pools, waves, shells, what to bring to a picnic, cleaning up litter, and more. Journal pages follow the coloring pages (for older kids) as well as art projects and recipes for a picnic lunch. And of course, there a lots of pages to color. Something for everyone. Cute!
Unique Beach Book with Lots to Do
This is a unique beach coloring and activity book. What makes it unique? The coloring book portion actually has a story about a family’s day at the beach that could be read; I don’t think I’ve seen that in another coloring book. There are some activities within the coloring portion as well, including looking for certain items around them. Some pages within this first section are also educational, like telling children the names of distinct seashell shapes. I lived on the ocean for 10 years, and I didn't know all of those names myself! I believe this book is intended for 7- to 9-year-old children as the illustrations to color are fairly detailed, and some words are unusual or complex. Throughout the book, there are places for a child to draw what he or she sees or could imagine, like drawing a sandcastle. After the story/coloring section of the book are extra pages for drawing and writing about their beach experience. All in all, I thought this was a fun book for a child to do, perhaps in anticipation of a beach day with extra activities that they can do with the book at the beach if they so desire.
Thank you NetGalley. We printed several pages and used them on our trip to visit some family last weekend. My 3 and 6 year old both enjoyed the large images and loved there wasn't tons of detail to color. We really enjoyed it. Thanks!
In addition to being a really fun coloring book all about a trip to the beach, this book is also a journal with activities to draw and write about your trip to the beach! Lots of fun things to color, do and learn in this book!
I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.
Color your world: A walk on the beach is a wonderful summer coloring book. It is perfect for children who are headed to the beach for a summer holiday. There are lovely illustrations to color and a few learning activities.
A copy of this book was made available by the publisher through netgalley. This is my honest review.
Review to come to blog/goodreads tomorrow.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
This looked cute and turned out to be really adorable! It is an activity book filled with fun illustrations. Let's go to the beach, well, OK, maybe not with Corona (please stay inside), but if that one is done it is time to spend a fun day at the beach in the sun with tons of fun activities.
In this delightful activity book we can colour in all the pages (I was really tempted to print them out so I could colour a couple) that are in this book (yes, all of them). But not only that we see what is happening at a beach. We see people sunbathing, swimming, making a sandcastle, collecting shells, and there is also a bit of clean-up which made me happy. Along with seeing what is going on at the beach kids are motivated to sketch in specific places (what do you see at the beach), search for items at the beach, make the best sandcastles, and plenty of more. With each page the fun increased and I also loved that there was place for a bit of learning (about the tides).
I think this will be a fun book to bring along with you when you go out with the kids to the beach. It will make the trip even more fun for them as this book is full to the brim with fun and activities. There is even a journal part at the end so the kids can write all about their day, so it will be something to hold on to for them.
I liked that at the ending we also get some recipes and some extra activities. Really, this book will never bore anyone, instead you are probably wondering how to cram everything in one day. :P
I loved the illustrations, they reminded me of some other children's books. I found the illustrations very adorable and cute.
All in all, highly recommended. Going to the beach with kids? Be sure to take this with you.
