At the Beach: Postcards from Crabby Spit.by Roland Harvey
Retrieved from Reading Time vol 49, No 3.
The book uses several narrators..being the 3 children giving their impressions of the day. The postcards are written in childlike handwriting . The author also takes part in the story riding his bike to the spit and appearing in all the double page illustrations.
The pictures are colourful with much to draw childrens attention. Not only do they go looking for the references made in the postcards to grandma, but can also look for the items the author loses along the way. Can look at the basic story via the postcards or look further and follow the plight of others in the illustrations. Encourages repeat readings to discover the many adventures happening at Crabby Spit.
