Brief Summary: This book is about two young boys who are best friends. They are preparing to go on a trip to the beach. On the way there and during their stay once there, they do so many fun things together. They have knew experiences and learn a lot about the ocean. This was such a cute book. My favorite part was when they were looking at the clams on the dock. The two little best friends do everything together for one week, and it turns out to be the best week of they have had yet.
Used in the Classroom: I think students will be able to relate to this. It's a feel-good book, and I think both boys and girls would really enjoy reading it. I think that it would inspire students to go on their own adventures. This would be a great book to read to the class during a break or something. There are not very many pages, and I think it would keep all of the students' attention. I loved it...they will too.
