Publisher's Synopsis
What works of art are shells! Little sea creatures build their homes in a wonderful variety of shapes and colours. In this engaging rhyme children comb the beach counting, collecting and naming the Moon Shell and other beautiful shells, appreciating the creatures that live in them. Eventually, many wash up to shore, providing a hands-on lesson in nature's simple wonders. The fun of discovery at the beach is enhanced by the tear-out shell identification card in the back of the book. SEASHELLS BY THE SEASHORE is a unique melding of fiction and non-fiction that will appeal to a wide age range with a counting aspect, intergenerational appeal and interactivity as children find the shells in the illustrations. Supplemental material in the book gives a simple scientific overview of the shells and the creatures that create them. Ages 4-10
