Many people fondly remember this book. Nancy loves to play Nurse, but her older brothers are always too busy with their big boy games to play with her. One day, when brother Billy falls and hurts himself, Nurse Nancy is at the ready! This lively, charming book from the 1950s is still fresh today.

A little elephant's worries about his wrinkles are solved.

"Nancy and Timmy hop out of their beds one summer morning and help pack their swimsuits and lunch. And then it's off to the seashore! In a charming rhyme, this Little Golden Book from 1951 (then titled A Day at the Beach) describes what preschoolers will find there: 'You can catch little crabsif you're quick! You can draw great big pictures right on the beach with a piece of a shell or a stick.' Oh, what fun!"--

Sooki the elephant, who has never seen another animal like himself, tries to shrink his saggy wrinkly skin.
