A hapless dog frolics in the sun and sand on a perfect beach day. It's fun in the sand, but now there's sand in his lunch and sand in his suit. Time for a dip in the water! The dog splishes, splashes, and rides the waves; it's fun in the water too. As the sun goes down, he flies a kite with new friends. Fun in the sky! But did he remember sunscreen? David Catrow's zany illustrations make this dog's day in the sun anything but ordinary.

"This is a swimmingly funny outing."—The Horn Book
"The simple language makes this not only a fine read-aloud, but a great early reader for those kids who need some comedy with their basic vocabulary words. So enjoyable the real thing may pale in comparison."—Kirkus Reviews
"[A]n amusing story that will make a funny readaloud selection . . . Catrow's zany pencil and watercolor illustrations not only help flesh out the narrative but also humorously articulate the understated text."—The Bulletin
