Review:

NSTA RecommendsThis informative book will engage readers in a tactile manner as well as through language. It is written in a clear and orderly manner with expository text providing information about seashore creatures. . . . [I]t combines inquiry and prediction skills with expository reading about science ina unique way that maintains interest and involvement. Booklist"[F]eatures beautiful spreads by Mendez, who paints his coastal scenes with a soft realism so accurate they are occasionally indistinugishable from photographs.Wilson, meanwhile, introduces readers to the plant and whildlife present at shorelines everywhere--not just the classic sandy beach but also a salt march, arctic region, and mangrove swamp."
