Snapshots: The Wonders of Monterey Bay [Hardcover]

Celeste Mannis (Author)


Available from these sellers.



Book Description

6 and up1 and up
Picture a world with a vast submarine canyon, rocky shores, sandy dunes, and glimmering tide pools; a world where creatures such as whales, pelicans, seals, and starfish coexist, wild and free at the edge of the sea.This is Monterey Bay, a rare treasure, and the heart of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary on California’s central coast.

Spare verse and gorgeous full-color photographs by award-winning author Celeste Davidson Mannis introduce young readers to the Bay’s adorable marine animals and the unique places they inhabit. Engaging facts and smaller images on every page provide a closer look at the many other wonders of Monterey Bay.



Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Starred Review. Kindergarten-Grade 4–Descriptive language paints a picture of this spectacular coastal ecosystem as clearly as the accompanying full-color photographs. Short, rhyming phrases relate a visit to Monterey Bay and celebrate its wonders. Vivid, two-page photos depict the area's different habitats, plants, and animals. Additional photographs of the flora and fauna are presented in black boxes along with more in-depth information. The images are so crisp that readers will be tempted to reach out and touch the animals. Sea lions, otters, whales, and a variety of birds are some of the creatures included, along with brief glimpses at life in a kelp forest, a tide pool, and an estuary. The simple text can be shared with younger children while the boxed sections provide enough detail to interest older students. With stunning photographs and text that will meet the needs of a wide range of ages, this title will be a welcome addition to most collections.–Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PA
