Reviews"Best's appealing language is filled with puns and atmospheric details that Potter enhances in her whimsical paintings that contrast the hot, crowded car with the open beach and cool sea." -- Booklist "A slice of urban life is cheerfully portrayed in this colorfully illustrated, first-person account of an ill-fated day trip to the beach...Potter's soft, bright paitings feature stylized figures reminiscent of folk art that reinforce the nostaligic feel of the text." -- Kirkus Reviews, "Best's appealing language is filled with puns and atmospheric details that Potter enhances in her whimsical paintings that contrast the hot, crowded car with the open beach and cool sea." --Booklist "A slice of urban life is cheerfully portrayed in this colorfully illustrated, first-person account of an ill-fated day trip to the beach...Potter's soft, bright paitings feature stylized figures reminiscent of folk art that reinforce the nostaligic feel of the text." --Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisReaders are in for another rousing good time with Sara and Catherine the Great The unsinkable heroine of Three Cheers for Catherine the Great! is back!Sara's Russian grandma, Catherine the Great, has promised to teach Sara how to float in the sea like a flower. So, on a sizzling summer day, they pile into Mr. Minsky's old car with Mama and their neighbors and set out for the beach. At first things are fine. But then they're not: there's a forgotten bathing suit, car trouble, and so many delays that everyone wonders if they'll ever get there. Everyone except Catherine the Great. With an enthusiastic "Da!" (Yes!), Sara's grandma keeps Mr. Minsky's car chugging down the road, until finally they arrive - just in time for Sara to learn one more lesson from her beloved grandma.With pictures full of charm and whimsy, this lively sequel to Three Cheers for Catherine the Great! demonstrates that when things go wrong, a positive attitude can make all the difference.
