One step,
two steps, what can you find?
This book,
with its sumptuous illustrations and specially cut-out pages, celebrates all of
the good things about a walk on the beach.
From two
award-winning creators and told from the visual point of view of a small child,
the book takes us on an adventure through the high tide line, finding treasures
large and small from both under and out of the water.
There is much to pore over. Readers are encouraged to turn the book upside down and around, and sometimes to take a second or even third look at the tiny, hidden writings that form part of the lush illustrations.
Information
about sea-treasures winds its way around seashells and barnacles, is etched
onto cuttlefish and snaked through shark eggs.
With a lovely 3-page fold-out at the end depicting a magnificent sea-creature surprise, the book offers delight and discovery on every page.
Searching For Treasure is a must for families who enjoy visiting the
seaside together, and for those who like to armchair travel in their swimming
attire!
A delight.
