What a Shell Can Tell

by Helen Scales & Sonia Pulido (illustrator)

A richly illustrated scientific picture book (48 pages) by a marine biologist and an illustrator who lives by the sea. The author is very thoughtful about explaining the science in a simple way, without being patronising, leaving a lot of space for the colourful pictures. Young readers learn plenty of facts about shells and their diverse environments from coral reefs to the abyss, but What a Shell Can Tell is also a wonderful inspiration for children to think about the world by observing nature. A small accompanying activity kit is available to download.

Ages 6-10
