Going to the Beach with Lily and Milo

Pauline Oud. Clavis, $12.95 (28p) ISBN 978-1-60537-094-1

Getting ready for a trip can be quite a production when small children are involved, and that's certainly true for Lily, a rabbit, and Milo, a mouse, in their third adventure. It's a sunny and hot day, so the duo plan to load up their wagon with beach supplies. Oud involves her audience in the selection process, inviting readers to guess which bathing suits, towels, hats, and snacks they will bring. Unfortunately, they never make it to the beach: the book ends, rather abruptly, with Milo setting up camp in the living room. Also available: Going to the Zoo with Lily and Milo. Ages 1%E2%80%93up.
