Review
"Masterly illustrations of the beach and its wildlife, and the beautifully paced text make this a book to remember...This is that rare product - a successful new non-fiction book where the information is presented in narrative form. This is exactly the kind of book which will engage children's interest and inspire a sense of wonder about the world - far more than any number of those many books with beautiful photographs which have only a few crisp captions to try to explain and describe their subjects." -- School Librarian
Mistry's superb, dreamlike illustrations may even prompt artistically inclined children to experiment with painting. -- Jean Craighead George in LookSmart, Dec-Jan 1997
The theme of friendship is bound up in an inspiring ecological tale which celebrates the richness of marine life. -- Child Education, January 1998
