The golden picture book of sea and shore

the long version

Here for the young reader is the story of sea, shore, and tide pool. Colorful pictures present life in the sea and at its edges—strange deep-water creatures, plankton animals, coral, shells, and seaweed. Facts about tides, surf, and currents explain the constant movement of the ocean, and the reader is told the wonderful story of islands. For the young scientist, here too is an account of how men discover the mysteries of the sea. An exciting book for sea-and-shore adventurers.
