Everyone loves the beach. . . except Chipmunk. Can best friend Bear
help change his mind? An early reader for kindergarteners, now in
Spanish.
A Bank Street Best Children's Picture Book of the Year in Spanish
I like the beach, says Bear. Not me! says Chipmunk--and for so many
reasons. Too hot, too sandy, and too many fish! As many times as Bear
proclaims his love for beach activities, Chipmunk responds with the
refrain, Not me!
As Chipmunk's misadventures pile up, he has to admit, I am not a beach
person. At this story's heartwarming conclusion, Bear asks, Why did you
come? Chipmunk replies simply, I came to be with you. Newly proficient
young readers will find humor and a reminder about the true nature of
friendship.
