Told in lyrical rhyme and accompanied by gentle watercolor illustrations, this beloved book encourages curiosity, empathy, and a love of nature--making it a favorite for both story time and STEM exploration.

  • Supports science education with classroom-ready content and backmatter perfect for STEM units
  • Includes a take-along bonus: Two shell ID guides (paperback only) ideal for beach walks or backyard hunts
