Wave by Suzy Lee

This beautiful wordless picture book tells the story of a little girl's day at the beach. The illustrations are done in two shades of watercolor - gray and blue, which makes the action of the waves really stand out. The young girl chases the waves, splashes in them and runs from them while seagulls fly overhead. This title would be great to use with young children as a discussion starter. It could also be used in a writing activity with older kids.

  1. I second. This is a great example of using images to tell a story. I agree that it could be a great story-starter, or language fill-in activity, or springboard for teaching dialogue (what *are* the girl and the wave and the birds all saying to each other?).
