At the Beach

$21.90

At the Beach is a delightful introduction to the natural history of the New Zealand seashore. The stage is set with beautiful, factually correct illustrations (including detailed cross-sections) of three familiar habitats - the sandy beach, rockpools and mudflats.

Many of the plants and animals that play a part in these rich ecosystems are shown in situ, and readers are directed from there to pages dedicated to detailed coverage of:

  • Crabs

  • Sea stars, kina and sea anemones

  • Shellfish

  • Seaweeds, sponges and sandhoppers

  • Fish, jellyfish & shrimps

  • Birds

Aimed at children 5-8 years old, but with appeal for anyone curious about New Zealand’s natural environment, At the Beach is a must for the home, bach, classroom and library. Comes with a removable, waterproof quick-reference guide to common seashore animals.

By Ned Barraud and Gillian Candler

Paperback, 32 pages.
