One Small Place by the Sea

One Small Place by the Sea Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

At the seashore . . .

High tide rushes in to fill a sandy basin with water. At first glance, it may seem like an ordinary puddle. But look again. Do you spy the ochre sea star or the tentacles of the giant green anemones? Look even closer. Now can you see the hermit crabs and turban snails, the barnacles and periwinkles?

In lyrical prose, Barbara Brenner reveals the fascinating happenings in one small place. She explains the recurring formation of tide pools and the remarkable interdependence of their creatures. Tom Leonard’s brilliant illustrations take you underwater to a secret world. His detailed, lifelike depictions of sculpins and mussels, algae and seaweed, show the splendor that dwells in the most unexpected places.

So stop. Observe. Explore your natural world. If you look closely enough, you will surely find . . . one small place that is home for many things.

Synopsis:

In this companion volume to "One Small Place in a Tree," available just in time for Earth Day, Brenner and Leonard show nature's splendor found in the smallest of places, and help children gain a greater appreciation for the creatures of the sea. Full color.
