This is the picture book selection for my library‘s Community Read. It is adorable and I want a physical copy for my own shelves. I love the watercolor artwork and how the illustrations are all done inside watercolor dots. It‘s a great story about harnessing creativity. The whole thing just makes me happy.

Very interesting book about drawing and learning to write.

“So did Sandy's tail.”

This book would be great to explain homophones to older grades as the title is a play on words. There is also personification as the main character draws the tail in the sand- “swish-swoosh.” There is also repetition throughout the story.

A Beach Tail by Karen Lynn Williams published in 2010 follows a young main character as he creates a drawing in the sand who he names Sandy. The pictures are of the perspective of the young boy as he continues on and on with the tail of Sandy. The almost grainy looking illustrations help bring a nostalgic feel to the picture book. In the end, Sandy becomes more useful than just a fun activity.
