Book Description
New Look! Relaunched with new jackets and 8 pages of new text!
Here is an original and exciting new look at the fascinating natural world of the seashore. Stunning real-life photographs of crabs, lobsters, tide pools, fish, seals, seabirds and more offer a unique "eyewitness" view of life on the seashore. See a starfish on the move, how a sea urchin disguises itself, a sea anemone catch a prawn, the inhabitants of a tide pool, and fish that change color. Learn how a limpet grips the rock, how a crab grows a new leg, how a prawn becomes invisible, how seabirds catch fish, and how a sea otter sleeps at sea. Discover how long seaweed can grow, why hermit crabs live in secondhand shells, which shells bore holes in solid rock, where a puffin lays its eggs, and much, much more.

 Seashore (DK Eyewitness Books) August 31, 2008
My family and I spend our summer weekends boating and exploring the shores of islands in Narragansett Bay (RI). We see many things and my 7 year old son asks questions I don't always have the answers for. This book helps us identify what we are looking at and gives us a brief dessciption of each. We love this book. We also bought Oceans (DK Eyewitness Book).
 Just Okay. September 11, 2007

This book isn't as good as I had hoped it would be.
While there is a lot of information, and the book might appeal to an older child (perhaps a 10 year old?) who really loves tidepool creatures, this isn't a good book for younger children. Many of the pictures have a dull, yellowish or brownish look to them, unlike most DK books. There are also a lot of decorative drawings that just aren't that great. Most of the creatures shown look unfamiliar to me, so I'm guessing that they are from the Atlantic Ocean. My children were dissapointed not to see a single purple starfish, the most common thing they see at the seashore. Perhaps Atlantic sealife just lacks color, but I'm betting that the pictures are showing their age.
A good book that studys the seashore. September 3, 1999

This is a good book because it studys life on the seashore and things that live on it, like sea stars and crabs.
