"Which fish can breathe on land? Why do some crabs have to live in other animal's shells? In this book you can find lots of fascinating facts about the seashore and the creatures that live there."--B.cover.
A summer classic by two masters, reissued and redesigned for contemporary audiences. Wendell Minor’s elegant artwork and Charlotte Zolotow’s simple, evocative prose brings a day at the beach vividly to life as a boy and his mother imagine what it would be like to spend a day at the seashore. Hunting for seashells and building sandcastles, this tribute to the power of imagination and the tenderness of a mother-child connection is also a sweet ode to summer's greatest pastimes. Perfect for storytime or bedtime.

Peep under seaweed and waves and into rock pools to discover all the delights of the seashore in this little book. What does a limpet look like in its shell? What's inside a pelican's bulging beak? What is a sea otter cuddling as it floats on its back? From bugs in the sand dunes to turtles hatching on a moonlit beach, this book explores seashores from all around the world. Shaped flaps and die-cut peep holes encourage little children to find information about the seashore for themselves. The charmingly written simple information is a joy for young children to expand their knowledge of the natural world and adults might learn a thing or two as well!

How does it feed? are answered in the notes accompanying each species to give a fascinating insight into the diversity and complexity of life on the shore. The text is supported by an extensive glossary of scientific terms and a comprehensive bibliography is included to aid further study. The third edition builds on the excellent reviews of earlier editions and will continue to appeal to a wide readership, including students, teachers and naturalists.
Spot the tiny shrimps hiding in the sand, see a shy crab underneath a rock and watch a jewel-like anemone open its tentacles in this gorgeously illustrated book of natures hidden habitats.
