Answers to Beach Pig Puzzle:
Beach Pig has her red toy boat with a string to pull it by,
a bath-tub duck, a towel and hat, a kite that she can fly,
cool green glasses for the sun, and a pair of water shoes.
She forgot to bring her yellow truck, plastic squirt toy spraying, a raft to float beneath the sky, and her picnic lunch (sandwich, plum and lemonade, some pudding and a spoon).

What I Did Last Summer (by Beach Pig)
Here I am with KJ Shapiro and Judy Love (the illustrator) at the Harvard Coop in Cambridge. KJ’s niece came by to say “hi”.
In June, I visited the wonderful bookstore Where the Sidewalk Ends, in Chatham, Cape Cod (on the beach!!!). It was fun.
