This is a terrific book to take along to the beach, or use for discussions before or after a trip.Also very useful for identifying shells you find, and telling fascinating details about the creatures that lived inside.
Love! Love! Love! This series!I'm getting them all if that tells you anything. These pack a lot of info in a fun unique way. My kids carry them everywhere and have started really "Investigating". I have a lot of nature books but this series is my favorite so far. My children are 5 years apart and it works just as well for both of them while making me happy with real facts.
This was bought for my 5 year old son, who was super curious about all things sea-related after a trip to the beach. Great reference material!
I also bought the wild flower book in this series, but I like this book better. I got this for my kids at the beach this year to identify shells and other things we discovered. It was extremely helpful, easy to read, and educational. It definitely included the most common and easily found shells and sea critters that we discovered.
I bought this gift for a young friend who has an interest in seashells. I also purchased a large designer bag of seashells and a starfish mix from U.S. Shell, Inc. My idea was that the book could be used to identify many of the seashells. Unfortunately, there were very few shells that were featured in the book. Possibly I should downgrade the shell selection instead if the book, but I feel that the variety in the book was too limited to live up to the name of the book.I will say that the book very nicely covers the shells, crabs and sea stars that are included. The book also addresses the creatures which formerly inhabited the shells as well as including activities to encourage the reader to learn more about the subject. In my opinion, it is an very good overview of the subject, deserving another star. However, for my purposes there was not the variety that I was expecting from reading the description of the book.Also the book arrived with the binding bent. This circumstance did not enter into my rating, as clearly the packaging was not the fault of the author. However, the book arrived loose in the box with the smaller boxes of shells and sea stars and was probably damaged during transit as the items shifted.
I ordered this book for my son and his family when they were going to the Coast for a summer break. I thought it would work well for my two grandsons, ages 4 and 6, and the beach combing I knew they would be doing. It worked well for them, therefore, I would recommend it to anyone else who plans on doing a little beach collecting themselves.
Took our granddaughters to the beach for a week and wanted to make the visit useful and informative as well as fun. Perfect book to do that. We saw most of these creatures and used the book to the wide-eyed wonder of our little girls. Learning can be fun!
I bought this for my granddaughter who loves the beach. It's easy to understand and helps a child know what kind of shells she's picking up on the beach.
