Looking Closely Along the Shore by Frank Serafini (Kids Can Press, ISBN 978-1-55453-141-7) is a beautiful picture book that teaches young children to take a closer look at their surroundings.
Look and Learn
Author and photographer Frank Serafini invites young children, ages 4 to 7, to take a closer look at nature along the shore. The book features close-up pictures of things one might find along the shore and asks children to guess what it might be. Turn the page and the child discovers the answer. For each picture, children get to learn about what is in the photograph, how it lives, what it does, and how it got that way.
Children will learn about barnacles, crabs, palm trees, shells, and more.
Lots of Fun
Children love to play games and will love taking a guess at what each close-up photo looks like and discovering what it really is. The great part about this guessing game is that young kids are learning about nature and are encouraged to take a closer look at their surroundings.
