A Walk on the Beach

This portable-sized book is packaged in a corrugated cardboard collection box that kids can fill with their favorite shells, coral, beach glass, driftwood, and other beach discoveries. The box also holds a colorful mesh bag for collecting samples, and a magnifying box for examining natural treasures up close.

By focusing only on the most common shells, insects, flora, and fauna, the guide will give kids instant gratification as they spot a seagull (or its footprints), dragonflies, and shells common to bay and ocean beaches on both coasts, such as conch, scallops, and slipper shells--and much, much more.

The juciest factoids (where to dig for mussels; how to hold a hermit crab, how to make a wind chime out of jingle shells) will appear with beautiful detailed photos.

Treasure box/kit dimensions are 8 x 10 x 2 1/4" which is standard B&N kit size.
