The story tells about a boy and his dog racing along a crowded seaside boardwalk when they get separated.  As the frantic young boy goes looking for his dog, he first only sees a variety of knees, but keeps climbing on progressively higher items in attempts to get a better view, seeing bellies, then hair, before he climbs to the top of a deserted life-guard stand where he gets a decent vantage point, and eventually finds his dog snagged by his leash under the boardwalk, where the two hang out to escape the storm that’s been gradually building in the background throughout the story.  The illustrations are really quite fun, drawn in a rather cartoonish style that captures a wide, exaggerated variety for each body part the boy finds himself surrounded by.  At times the text of the story has a fun rhythm and rhyme to it, but by going in and out of rhyming, rhythmic text, alternated with more prosaic text, it’s got a bit of a clunky feel to it.
