Here’s what the parent of one young fan has to say:

Most recent favorite book. We’ve been making sand castles and writing G.R-E-G at the beach. Theora regularly asks to read ‘Gregory’.

Floyd Cooper’s illustrations added much to this book.  You can feel the sand!

See the Kirkus review: Children will relate to this adventure, which pivots on the moment he realizes he has lost sight of his dad. But a winning combination of good memory and self-reliance lead to a most satisfactory ending. Scoop up this tale for its strength as a unique beach story and for its warm portrayal of an African-American son and father enjoying the outdoors. (Picture book. 3-6) — Kirkus
