Informative, but something missing...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beachcombing the Atlantic Coast (Paperback)
While beachcombing with my children, heads down to the sand and waves, I thought to myself "I wish I knew more about what we're looking at." Once home, I searched online for a guidebook describing the life of the Atlantic coast that would be informative AND interesting to my kids (both under 6 years old). This book has the perfect title, and is very informative and accurate, but it is missing something. After some thought I realize it is color. While Kochanoff's drawings are good - simple yet specific - they are plain line drawings. Without color, one loses so much. One certainly loses the interest of young children (who are stumped by black & white TV!) I also wish the format of the book was smaller - the 8-1/2 x 11 inch size eliminates it as a candidate for the beach bag. So, if you're interested in a basic illustrated zoological study of the life of the Atlantic beaches, this may be your book. But if you're trying to teach your kids about what they are picking up out of the sand, you probably will need to keep looking.
