It is Sam's fifth birthday, and he is so excited to visit the beach for the first time! When he arrives at the beautiful beach, he is filled with wonder and delighted at all the sights and sounds. While he loves the tractor, the seagulls, the feel of the sand, the fish in the vast ocean, and his new friends, he is particularly fascinated by the motion of the ocean's waves that seem to dance to the beat of their soft sounds. But little does he know that later, the memory of those very waves will lull him right to sleep. In this colorfully illustrated children's story, after a little boy visits the beach, he drifts off to sleep while recalling the beautiful sights and sounds of the day.
