I am glad the book is simple and that children can understand. The best part is that it brings out even the child in the older ones. Thanks for the amazing review.

Latest Review: Creating Literary Stories: A Fiction Writer's Guide by William H. Coles

The story sounds cute and like a good, simple read for young kids and their parents/guardians/older siblings/whoever is reading with them. I especially like that the main character more seems to be “young at heart” rather than a child. I think we as a society need to be more open to letting out our inner child more often; we’re just way too stressed and on-edge otherwise. Thank you for the helpful review.

Wow. This looks like a book that will spike excitement in the young ones. The illustrations and simple plot the book portrays will appeal to their hearts. I hope children will enjoy Looice's adventure at the beach. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

I honestly believe this book is amazing. I enjoyed getting to know how Loocie’s day at the beach went. I found myself questioning why was Loocie doing silly things like attempting to eat the sand, than I remembered it was childlike which made me chuckle cause Loocie did indeed have a bread. Overall it didn’t matter what Loocie looked like the fact is that Loocie brought out my memories of being a child and doing fun things at the beach. The wording is very playful and the pictures allowed me to connect more with the setting of the book. It is a 4 out 4 for me.

I like that Looice's character is quite vague. That way, he could be easily related to.
Congratulations, BOTD.

Gratitude for the wise audit. Assuming you prescribe this book to youngsters matured three to seven, it very well may be a decent sleep time story or a book that children could use in school while figuring out how to peruse and compose.
Good health.

The childlike illustrations and the use of minimal words to convey the plot make this book more engrossing, as readers will make up their own little stories when they go on an adventure with Looice.

I applaud any book that children will find interesting. I've taught literacy to children, so I realize how crucial it is for children to enjoy books.
