Really cute story, very simple and easy to read to even the most squirmy child. The illustrations are beautiful!

I was rather impressed with Do Princesses Live in Sandcastles. I was taken to a place I have seen many times in my life, but not like this. Seeing it through this little girls eyes took me back to a simpler time. You see things so differently then, and there is so much to learn and explore. This was a simple book, but I ended up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. I can see lots of kids having a blast exploring this place with this little girl and her family.

I enjoyed the rhymes in “Do Princesses Live in Sandcastles?” They were definitely the best part of the book. The last page didn’t seem to fit the rest of the book, but it was fun so it didn’t bother me too much. Kids will like it and it’s a good read aloud.

As a big fan of all of the other "Do Princesses..." books by Carmela LaVigna Coyle, I was excited to see this new Princess adventure! Find all of your questions about the beach and the ocean answered by the little Princess in this adorable book! From sandcastles to mermaids and everything in between little princesses everywhere will adore this trip to the beach! As always, the illustrations by Mike Gordon bring the characters to life and are a wonderful asset to this charming story. Prepare for fun and adventure in this must-have beach read for your little readers!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this adorable book! I can't wait to add it to our library!

#DoPrincessesLiveInSandcastles?

I just love this series. This time the princess and price are having a day at the beach. Their day is full of rhyming questions and answers and adorable graphics that readers have come to expect. Another book in a lovely lineup.

This is another great picture book in the "Do Princesses...." series by Carmela LaVigna Coyle. "Join our favorite princess as she explores her favourite beach!"

This picture book has cute illustrations that show us our princess, her brother and parents participating in various beach related activities. The text (story) is told in rhyme which makes it even more fun. I had to show my daughter the illustration of the princess after being knocked over by a wave while on a boogie board. I have a video of her doing just that when she was 6 years old, we still laugh about it. The kids enjoyed the story and wanted to talk a lot about the illustrations. A great book to read before a trip to the beach or after coming home. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

OH, my! I would have sworn the illustrator also did Horrid Henry books. Whoops! Well, they may look the same, but I find them very appealing. I loved the story itself, a day at the beach with the kids. You can't go wrong with that! AND in rhyme making it so much better! Great story to bring along on the trip (read before hitting the beach, sand will likely ruin he book.). Or maybe a good read when the trip is over to relive some memories of the trip. The littles will enjoy it. Kudos to botht he author, Carmela LaVigna Coyle, and illustrator, Mike Gordon. Lovely book!

A cute book that shows a different way to be a princess. We follow a family as they spend time at the beach and learn about sand and waves and the animals that call the shore home.

We love the Do Princesses...series. My son and daughter have all the other books in the series and I was happy to review this one. I was disappointed with this installment as I felt it didn't flow well. It didn't seem focused or tracking anywhere. It seemed disjointed and all over the place. I had high hopes and was left wishing there was better writing.

Your little one will enjoy this story whether a prince or princess. Delightful illustrations for a cute idea. Learn if princesses live in sandcastles. Take a splash in this book for a imaginative story.

This fun book captures a perfect day at the beach and will have you longing to join in on the adventure. Two adorable children explore all the amazing possibilities that a beach day has to offer.

They check out the diverse sand critters on the beach, build awesome sandcastles with their shovels and pails, float on the water riding on plump inflated toys, and they catch a wave on a new boogie board that was tailor-made for this very day, just to name a few. How fun is that?

The illustrations are detailed and animated making the rhyming narrative come alive to the reader. They paint a picture of the wonder and excitement surrounding a perfect day spent at the beach. The book will ignite a child's imagination as they get caught up in the wonder and magic of a quality family day spent seaside relaxing and playing together. I highly recommend this book.

Adorable little story that I will share with my granddaughters! Always looking for fun girl stories, and what's not to like? Sun, sand, and beaches, all the things we really love!! Very cute!!!

Such a fun book about a journey to the beach. This book was all about rhyming and getting kids involved in the story. I read this story to my son and he was very engaged. He loved the pictures and the story altogether. I enjoyed reading the story to my son because it kept both of us entertained as well. This was a wonderful family book and great for storytelling when trying to get the kids to bed.

Great book for the kiddos. Great illustrations and cute question and answer type format about beachy things. Especially nice for the summer or beach lovers! This will be a frequent reread!

A cute children's book about the excitement and wonder of all the things that you can see during a day at the beach. The illustrations were beautifully done. The soft colors where perfect, the illustrations were fun and simple, and I felt that it came together nicely to create a book that children will be sure to love.

I have received a much appreciated digital copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute book about exploring all the things you can do at the beach. Perfect summer storytime read.
I received an ARC of the book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Very cute story! Would make a great addition to my classroom library!

As a young girl enjoys the beach with her family, she asks lots of questions about the things she encounters.

There doesn't necessarily seem to be any rhyme or reason to the questions (which totally fits with the questions children ask sometimes!), but I do wish there was a more complete plot. The illustrations are fun and kids will probably enjoy it.

I read a copy from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This book doesn't have any sort of plot? I know it is a children's book, but it should tell a story. It could be useful to introduce the concept of the shore or the ocean to a child? There is nothing WRONG with the book, but I don't know what it adds to a library.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Rowman and Littlefield for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This book has lovely graphics!! A fun day at the beach, but the title is never even mentioned. Kids are going to ask for an answer. It's a fun, cute book. I rated it a 4.
