Munsch, Robert
I ordered this book through Scholastic. I'd never heard of it before, but everything I've read of Robert Munsch's, I've loved. So, I rolled the dice on this one and I was so glad I did.
Matthew's family takes a trip to the beach and he finds out that he can enter a sandcastle contest. He goes all out and makes the most ingenious creation. It is so extraordinary that the judges think it is real and make him knock it down because they don't allow real houses on the beach. When Matthew's creation tumbles into grains of sand the judges feel terrible and immediately recant their harsh statements.
This great, easy read with vibrant pictures is something young kids will especially enjoy.
