Synopses & Reviews
Nature tells a story at the edge of the ocean. It is a story of morning fog and starlit skies; of lobsters roaming the ocean floor and kelp swaying with the waves. The story tells of sea birds searching for breakfast at break of day and crabs wriggling out of their shells in the dark of night. This ancient story of cycles and survival unfolds each day, but we must open our eyes and ears to see and hear it. Laurence Pringle takes us to the ocean's edge to help us to do just that. Through a simple and poetic text, he shows how creatures and their environment are linked together. Michael Chesworth's delicate watercolor illustrations capture the sights of rolling waves, sandy shores, and creatures of sea and sky. Together they heighten our awareness of the beauty and drama that exist above, below, and around the ocean.
