Seashells: More Than a Home by Melissa Stewart and Sarah Brannen - ESSENTIAL

Seashells: More Than a Home by Melissa Stewart, illustrated by Sarah S. Brannen.  NON-FICTION/PICTURE BOOK.  Charlesbridge, 2019.  $16. 9781580898102

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Such a  lovely variety of seashells populate our world.  Stewart compares several different kinds of shells (and the creatures that populate them) to things that we as humans also do.  

The information on the page will be the spark for a great science lesson both in elementary schools and middle schools. The back matter contains a great short piece about the importance of research and how long it can last!  I like having Brannen’s illustrations instead of photographs.
