Sandy and the Dancing Waves takes a very simple and delightful approach to science and helps explain how a pearl is formed from a piece of sand and an oyster. The book stars Sandy, a delightful character with whom young children can identify.

Sandy, the adventurous grain of sand, enjoys fun in the sun on the beach riding the waves with her friends but she wants more. Through a rough ride on the waves she meets an oyster and year after year they become friends.

One day a fisherman harvested the oyster and found Sandy, now a beautiful pearl. Sandy's travels lead her to a jeweler's shop where she is made into a gold pin. How she gets back home we leave as a mystery. Back home on the beach she finds true happiness with her friends and discovers that not only is she a beautiful pearl but that she possesses a new inner beauty.

There is an educational component of Level 1: Reading Sight Words color-coded throughout the story and Beach Words placed on the pictures. There is a self-expression page at the end of the book entitled "My Beach Story."
