In Magic Beach, it tells different stories about what happens on this beach. Childrens fantasies come alive on every page. Each page has a picture that goes along with the "magic" of this beach. In the classroom, this book would be helpful in sparking the students imagination. This book will have students thinking of different fantasies they might have. This is another picture book my toddler picked up, about a day that a family of children spend at the beach with their parents and baby brother. I like the way every other page describes an aspect of the beach, starting with "At our beach, At our magic beach," like splashing in the waves on the shore, or building sand castles; and then the next page expands it with imagination and adventure, into riding white horses onto the beach, or saving their brother from dragons attacking castles. Every page is accompanied by richly detailed illustrations. We quite enjoyed following the hats through the successive illustrations, and identifying the characters and what they were doing, until they fell asleep safely in bed at the end of the day. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This book sounds really cute in theory, but in actuality it was a bit dull. The poetic language, especially the repetition of the phrase "at our beach, at our magic beach," sounds lovely but sometimes the meaning is lost a bit in the lyricism.
Overall, the text just didn't grab me (and I love beaches! and imagination!) and the two children I read it aloud to (ages 5 and 8) weren't exactly enthralled either.
The illustrations are okay for 1990 when the book was published, but the style seems rather old-fashioned now. ( )
