*********
One of the greatest joys is wandering through nature with a young person and teaching them to see what is all around them. It gets better when you have just the right sized book to carry along to refer to. This series of little books really does the trick.
Hello Shells has just enough shells to make things interesting and not so many shell pictures that it takes all the fun out of it. This is a book to whet the appetite to care and notice what is waiting on the beach. You have a lifetime to memorize every shell. This is the book that will invite you to decide to do just that.
