103 pp. On the beach, in the sea shallows, the tidepools, the wharf piles and eddies, live hundreds of curious creatures whose names and habits are unknown to most of us. There are varieties of shellfish, jellyfish, sea weeds, sand creatures and shore birds. In Along the Shore, they are described and their haunts and behavior discussed. To insure easy identification of the many species, each is illustrated by a drawing. The book includes also directions for collecting specimens and for making an amateur aquarium where the specimens may be kept and studies. This is a handbook for the naturally curious, for the beginner in nature study, and for children of all ages.--jacket
