Book Synopsis

Explore the ocean's beauty in this illustrated book featuring a unique spinning wheel that reveals fascinating information about thirty different shells.

Seashells are marvels; beachcombing adults and children alike are transfixed by their natural beauty and striking architecture. The Shell Seeker is your ticket to discovering all the incredible details of these stunning homes for mollusks and other marine life. Renowned science writer Juli Berwald draws on her passion for the ocean and its great treasures to reveal the remarkable and surprising features of 30 shells found on the shorelines of North America--from California to Florida to Cape Cod--as well as oceans around the world.

Spin the cover wheel to find key facts at a glance, then flip to the corresponding shell's page for in-depth information about the species, including its name, size, habitat, and more. The stunning illustrations bring the beauty of these shells to life--you'll explore the vibrant colors and the hypnotic patterns of shells like the Queen Conch, Juno's Snail, Lightning Whelk, Scotch Bonnet, Shark Eye, Bay Scallop, Eastern Oyster, and more.

The Shell Seeker is perfect for casual beachcombers, ocean enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by nature's beauty.
