Pearl's Birthday Tide Garden (Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 32)

Aurorasauras & Artie Bear, Book 32 by Paul Rawly

Pearl waves from her familiar rock when Aurorasauras, Artie Bear, Pip and Polly come to the shore with Mum. "It's my birthday," she tells them. "Will you help me make a garden beside the sea?"

On the damp sand they build curly paths, a grand staircase and a pool that reflects the sky. Then a gentle wave slides across the lowest path, and the neat steps disappear. A wall won't work, says Pearl: the sea always finds a way through. So Polly has an idea. What if the garden changes with the sea? They dig channels between the pools and add a tiny bridge, and when the next wave comes, water shines along every path. It's a water garden!

A gentle seaside story about working with nature, letting things change and keeping happy memories.

The story is followed by 10 activity pages with story questions, feelings prompts and drawing spaces to share together. For children aged 3 to 7.
