Bookroo's summary

Roxanne is determined to reach the beach, but her plans keep hitting roadblocks. With her car refusing to start, she turns to the bus, only to find she can't take everything with her. As she navigates each new challenge, something must be left behind. Will it be the turtle, the umbrella, or perhaps the book of stories? Join Roxanne on her summer adventure and guess what she sacrifices each time. Can she make it to the beach with her baby and essentials intact?

From the publisher

Toddlers will love this uncomplicated story, while older preschoolers will be involved in guessing what must be left behind as they watch Roxanne pack up for the beach! One beautiful summer day Roxanne decides to go to the beach. She loads up the car with everything she wants to take with her: the turtle…the umbrella..the book of wonderful stories…the ball…and, of course her baby! But the car won’t start. Undaunted, Roxanne decides to take the bus to the beach. But something can’t go on the bus. Whenever Roxanne comes up with a new way to get to the beach she discovers she must leave something behind-and children will have great fun guessing just what’s missing each time.
