Max and Molly books by Kate Pope, illustrated by Liz Pope

From chapters.ca:
Little Max is very excited on his first visit to the shore. But the waves seem too noisy, and Max doesn't like the feel of sand between his toes. Maybe little Molly can help him relax and enjoy his day at the beach. This cheerful little story for toddlers features color illustrations on every one of its sturdy board pages. Each appealing picture's bright colors are further enhanced by scatterings of tiny metallic sparkles embedded on the page to catch and reflect light. Sparkles in the rolling waves at the seaside will bring a fresh sparkle to the eyes of the toddler who picks up this delightful book.
