This beautifully written and illustrated board book is a companion volume and prequel to "A Gull's Story" and "A Gull's Story, Part 2," the beloved "ABC" and "Counting" books of the Jersey Shore.
Thoughtfully written, highly detailed, and visually stunning, "A Gull's Story, Part 3" teaches "Colors at the Shore" and revisits The Gull Family and their adventures along the Jersey Coast.

"A Gull's Story, Part 3" has been written and illustrated with a universal appeal for children wanting to learn about all coastlines.

Margie Moore - When asked to illustrate a sequel to A Gull's Story, Part 3 Margie Moore was happy to have another chance to revisit the natural and physical wonderment of the Jersey Shore that captivated her imagination as a child growing up in the seaside town of Belmar, New Jersey. Besides illustrating the Gull Story books, her endearing style of art has merited her numerous titles including the "Ruby Raccoon - I Can Read" book series by HarperCollins Publishers and "Hillside Lullaby" and the "Little Brown Bear" books published by Dutton Children's Books. Margie and her husband live very near to where she grew up along the Jersey Shore.
