Before we went to the coast I read all of the kids books about the beach to them. they included 'Spot's holiday', 'Grandpa and Thomas', 'Magic Beach' and 'There Is A Sea in my Bedroom'. Audrey particularly loves the last one. I read it to her about twice a day - even now. I find her playing the story - she comes and says to me "Mama, there's a sea in my bedroom!"
The story is about a boy who is fightened of the ocean, but loves collecting shells. His father tells him if he holds the shell to his ear he can hear the sea. He imagines his bedroom has turned into the sea and plays and swims. This helps him overcome his fear of the ocean.
