More About This Book

Overview

Little sea creatures build their shell homes in a wonderful variety of shapes and colors. In this engaging rhyme, children comb the beach, counting, collecting, and naming the Moon Shell and other beautiful shells, appreciating the creatures that lived in them. The paperback edition contains a tear-out shell identification card to enhance the hands-on lesson in nature's simple wonders.
About the Authors: Formerly an early childhood educator and children’s theater director in New York, Marianne Berkes now lives in Florida where she is a children’s librarian. "Miss Marianne," as the children at the Palm Beach County Library know her, enjoys telling stories about animals and nature. She also visits local schools where she presents special storytelling programs about the books she has written. Seashells by the Seashore is her third book. Living near the ocean, Marianne enjoys swimming, boating and walking the beach, where she often picks up beautiful shells to add to her collection.

The illustrator, Robert Noreika is a watercolorist with a passion for nature and art. He attended the Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut and has his studio in an Arts Center in Avon, Connecticut. He has always loved to comb the beaches and hike in the woods, and now he does so with his wife, Chris, and seven year-old daughter, Sarah. This is the fourth book he has illustrated.

A child and her companions collect a number of seashells from one to twelve.

Editorial Reviews

. . . In this lovely lilting rhyme, children walk the beach, counting, naming, and owning forever the . . . beautiful shells.
Michelle McKenzie
I love the gentle conservation message in this beautiful story!

School Library Journal
K-Gr 3-In this rhyming text, a young girl accumulates a dozen shells as a gift for Grandma's birthday. Watercolor seashore vistas feature blonde Sue as she enlists her brother and his friend in finding her treasures. A vertical bar on the left side of each spread gathers the labeled collection together for viewing as the day progresses. Berkes offers ample facts in her rhymes, and gives a short paragraph of information on each type of shell on a spread at the end. Though informative, the text occasionally trails into trite rhyming pairs such as, "How the seashells glisten/In the sun that shines from heaven./Here's a bumpy Oyster Shell/So that makes seven." Noreika's detailed, realistic shell studies gracefully contrast with the misty landscapes that capture a range of unique seaside hues. While the tear-out identification card for readers to use as they roam the shore may soon be lost, young beachcombers will still be able to appreciate this lesson.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

    Slow shipping and I even paid extra. Took 4 days instead of the two I was expecting . . .

    Good Book, very information. Wouldn't rely on this seller to send something on time.
