Seaside treasures : a guidebook for little beachcombers

Grindler, Sarah (author,, illustrator.).

Summary: A sea glass-hunting handbook for kids providing advice, like "make sure no one's home!" before taking a snail shell, and facts, like how sea glass is formed and where glass fishing floats come from, the text invites young readers to explore and wonder about everything that washes up on the sand. The author shows readers what to look for by the ocean-- from purple sea urchin shells (that otters love to munch on) to mussel shells, sand dollars, and every colour of sea glass-- and encouraging all of us to imagine where those treasures may have come from.

    An essential sea glass–hunting handbook for kids. With helpful advice, like "make sure no one's home!" before taking a snail shell, and fascinating facts, like how sea glass is formed and where glass fishing floats come from, the gentle and flowing text invites young readers to explore and wonder about everything that washes up on the sand.

    Author and illustrator Sarah Grindler's images are vivid and realistic, showing readers what to look for by the ocean—from purple sea urchin shells (that otters love to much on) to mussel shells, sand dollars, and every colour of sea glass—and encouraging all of us to imagine where those treasures may have come from. A beautiful keepsake as well as a practical guidebook for the young beachcomber.
