It is a warm, sunny day when Megan and David decide to pack a picnic basket and head to the beach. Before they leave, their very curious six-month-old kitten, Smokey, decides to jump in the basket and falls asleep on the soft blanket inside. Without realizing the kitten is in the basket, Megan and David set out to enjoy a great day on the sand.

When they arrive at the beach, they discover Smokey when he pops his head out of the basket. He blinks at the bright sun, overcomes his fear of the funny-feeling sand, and wanders down to the water where he befriends a seagull, a crab, and a turtle. But when he realizes he is lost, will his new friends help him find his way back to the beach blanket?

In this delightful tale, a playful kitten who stows away in a picnic basket and falls asleep, wakes up on the beach where he experiences a great adventure and makes new friends.
