It's coming to the end of summer and we've yet to take a trip to the beach! This bright and vintage book is making me think of my in-laws' old house at the shore. How we would pack up our swimsuits and sand toys and books to read after we came home sandy and sunburnt. Leroy the Lobster definitely would have been one we would have brought with us. It's a rather silly story, about a lobster and crab who are off searching for pirate treasure (why they need treasure I have no idea!). They are in the waters off of Maine and cross paths with some native residents, like Big Bad Bill the Codfish and Awful Austin the octopus. Some vintage books are classics for a reason (the art, the stories) and some, like this one, can just be enjoyed without any expectations.
