A good book that studys the seashore.

This is a good book because it studys life on the seashore and things that live on it, like sea stars and crabs.

Just Okay.

This book isn't as good as I had hoped it would be.

While there is a lot of information, and the book might appeal to an older child (perhaps a 10 year old?) who really loves tidepool creatures, this isn't a good book for younger children. Many of the pictures have a dull, yellowish or brownish look to them, unlike most DK books. There are also a lot of decorative drawings that just aren't that great. Most of the creatures shown look unfamiliar to me, so I'm guessing that they are from the Atlantic Ocean. My children were dissapointed not to see a single purple starfish, the most common thing they see at the seashore. Perhaps Atlantic sealife just lacks color, but I'm betting that the pictures are showing their age.
