Lili Mouse and her friend Henri head to the beach in the newest edition to the On the Fingertips series. Join everyone's favorite mouse duo as they embark on a day at the beach. From feeling the sand between her toes to swimming in the salty water, flying a kite, and going shell hunting, Lili is having a fantastic day. Henri, on the other hand, is having a different experience. He finds the sand to be itchy, the water too cold, the sun too hot (ouch, sunburn), and the boat too nauseating. At the end of the day, can the two can agree on maybe one thing?... that ice cream makes everyone happy! Notes of humor echo in their dialogue as these two lovable mice playfully use descriptive words to describe the beach. Author Lucie Albon creates magic with her handprints and presents a workshop at the end of the book on how to create a crab and your very own ice cream cones! So, get ready to learn, imagine, and create when you dip your fingers in the paint!
