I’m pleased to introduce the third book in the Hello! series of board books by author Katherine Pryor and artist Rose Soino, Hello, Beach! This simply sweet, adorably illustrated book for the littlest book lovers follows Hello, Garden! and Hello, Rain! and precedes the fourth book Hello, Snow!, which is a 2025 Mom’s Choice Award Gold Winner. All four books from Schiffer Kids publishing, which are available now, feature the same fun-loving diverse family enjoying time together through the seasons in the great outdoors. I previously reviewed Hello, Rain! here on Frog on a Blog, and you can read that review HERE.

It’s currently 19 degrees F here in snow-covered upstate NY, the perfect time to showcase a book that is sure to bring the warmth of summer into your home. In Hello, Beach!, readers follow the family from heading to the water, discovering clams, launching a boat, watching the tide retreat, and finally saying a sleepy good night to the beach while the sun sets over the water.

Hello, Beach! offers a gentle rhyme scheme, the same as the other books in the series, along with the illustrator’s cute watercolor pictures, which depict lots of beachy fun, such as splashing toes, circling seagulls, sandcastles, scuttling crabs, and more. There are plenty of animal and nature scenes for parents to point out and for kids to admire.

All four together make a perfect set of “seasons-themed” board books.
