-t's summer in North Carolina 

 — time for packing up the kids and 

 driving to the beach. On this trip, be 

 sure to pack a sack full of books along 

 with your sunscreen and sand toys. 



I have a pile of great reads to 

 recommend — books chock-full of 

 activities to keep kids busy, illustra- 

 tions to make them wonder and words 

 to make them listen. They'll learn a lot, 

 too — about everything from poetry to 

 porpoises. 



So enjoy the sand, sun and surf, 

 but don't forget these Coastwatch 

 picks. Even if you don't have children 

 of your own, these books will bring out 

 the kid in you.
