Arnosky, Jim. 2004. BEACHCOMING: EXPLORING THE SEASHORE. New York: Dutton Children’s Books. ISBN # 0525471049
This informational book is full of facts about many things which can be found while beachcombing at the seashore. The book begins with good advice on how to prepare and begin searching for treasures. The book is then divided into double page spreads of different categories of items which can be discovered at the beach. Some of the items which are highlighted include seashells, crabs, jellyfish, and even shark teeth. Each section includes many beautiful pastel paintings which are labeled and include specific facts and interesting information. The author states that he has gathered his information from personally beachcombing on 26 beaches along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. This is a great choice for children to learn about our beaches and to identify items which they may find or have found. The book ends with an author’s note about how the information was gathered and a list of more books for children who wish to explore this topic further.
