Synopsis: Scaredy Squirrel is at it again. This time he wants to go to the beach. First he creates his own artificial beach, but it isn't the same with out the sound of the ocean. He decides to go to the actual beach to get a seashell. There he finds out that he actually likes the beach.

Connection with Science:
Scaredy Squirrel is a great organizer and planner. Any of these books would be good to read before creating rules for the classroom or the lab.

Life lessons:
The organization of this book (and the others in the series) is fantastic. It would be a great place to start talking about schedules, ordering, etc.
