Reviews

Gr 4 Up-This small field guide serves a need in beach communities and as a vacation-treasure handbook. The first third of the volume covers general information on shells, how to collect them, and how to use this book. Then, 50 shells are introduced in full-color photos, each on a double-page spread, along with a description, a very small range map, and two smaller photos of similar shells with descriptions. The omission of the lucine, a very common clam shell, is a minor drawback. An attractive title to update books on identifying and collecting these popular items.-Nora Jane Natke, Hooked on Books, Hollywood, FL
