Summer’s here and we’re getting into a “beachy” frame of mind around here. I’m from Florida and I absolutely adore the beach, so for this book roundup, I decided to feature the best beach books for kids!
There are books for toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary-aged kids to look at, read, and enjoy. What I love about these books is that they focus on the beach itself, not just stories that take place there, so they’re excellent reading choices if you’re doing a beach unit study soon!
If your kids enjoy reading these, check out some other summer reads, including some cool ice cream books for kids!
