Editorial Review: Product Description: A lyrical visit to the seashore in words and pictures THE COMPLEX HABITATS and rich diversity of seashore life are accurately and beautifully portrayed in a new book for young naturalists. It provides a unique and intriguing introduction to the vital relationships between sea creatures, other animals and plants, and the ecosystems in which they live: the water, shoreline, and dunes. St. Pierre's gentle text flows from sea to sky, serenity to storm, and day to night in rhythmic parallel to the timeless cycles of the natural world, beautifully complemented by Doyle's realistic illustrations.

A section at the back of the book offers interested readers a more detailed glimpse into the coastal ecosystems and habitats featured in the text, as well as helpful eco-tips that highlight ways to preserve the natural beauty of the coastline.
