Beach discoveries with Cora

Cora’s day at the shore turns familiar beach activities into investigations: comparing sand for castle-building, observing how sea animals cope with low tide, and exploring a tide pool while helping sea stars avoid drying out. The book combines an early-reader adventure with nonfiction back matter that expands on three STEAM concepts and offers a sandcastle experiment for young readers to try. Its beach setting gives the science a practical frame, linking observation and hands-on questions to the places and creatures Cora encounters.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Early readers moving into chapter books
  • Children interested in beaches, sea animals, and simple science activities
  • Families seeking a story with follow-up STEAM ideas

Book overview

"A highly readable adventure that champions critical thinking and creativity." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Keep kids curious with this exciting first adventure in the STEAM Street Kids early-reader series, following Cora on a day of fun, science-based adventures at the beach.

Pack your beach bag and join Cora and Gran for some discoveries by the shore! Test sand to figure out what kind makes the best castle. Find out how sea animals survive low tide. Investigate sea stars in a tide pool--and rescue them from drying out. And what tops off a day at the beach better than a big ice cream sundae? The welcoming text by nonfiction author extraordinaire Sally M. Walker, ideal for early readers moving into chapter books, is followed by back matter expounding on the three STEAM concepts introduced and inviting kids to experiment with their own sandcastle-building activity.
