On the Way to the Beach

Rating:
Summary: Part guide book, part scavenger hunt, and part story book
Review: Learning resource for the home library of nature lovers. This is a simple story of a short trip through the woods, to the salt marsh, to the dunes, and finally to the beach. Along the way readers are given a scavenger hunt like list of animals, plants, and natural objects to find in each fold-out, three-page spread. The artwork is detailed like that of a guide book, but also set within context. The last page has the answers with all the species identified. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
