Product Description

Nat, Nat, the Nantucket Cat, walked one sunny day
Down a nice Nantucket street, his own Nantucket way.
"What a very pretty morning," he purred so happily.
"A pretty morning on our pretty island in the sea."

On special days like this, he thought, there's just one thing to do!
Grab your towel and sunglasses, and call a friend or two,
And meet them on your favorite beach in wonderful Nantucket-
And don't forget the sun tan cream, your shovel and your bucket!

Nat reviewed
This is a fun picture book to read to elementary students to let them know a little bit about the northeast and Nantucket.

A family favorite
We read this book after taking a vacation at the beach this summer and the kids love it. The illustrations are great, and it's even informative without being boring. Put this one on your bookshelf at home!
