BEACHES

B is for Beaches,

700 miles of shells and sand.

Tiny little crystals,

sifting through my hand.

Press play to hear sounds of the beach

How many grains of sand are in the world?

I FOUND A TINY STARFISH

I found a tiny starfish
In a tidepool by the sand.
I found a tiny starfish
And put him in my hand.

An itty-bitty starfish
No bigger than my thumb
A wet and golden starfish
Belonging to no one.

I thought that I would take him
From the tidepool by the sea.
And bring him home to give to you -
A loving gift from me.

But as I held my starfish
His skin began to dry.
Without his special seaside home
My gift to you would die.

I found a tiny starfish
In a tidepool by the sea.
I hope whoever finds him next
Will leave him there like me!

And the gift I saved for you?
The best that I can give.
I found a tiny starfish
And for you, I let him live.
