ENLIGHTENING BOOK FOR CHILDREN

This book is educational for children, as it tells what beach glass is and how it is washed up on the shore. Good story to peak a child's interest in a new venture. Great for classroom use.

Beautiful Story Leads to a Lovely Hobby

Certainly, it doesn't take children very long to learn how to hunt for treasures while at the beach. Crabs, sea shells, drift wood and sometimes even money are now joined by learning about the beautiful art of finding sea glass. This lovely book potrays the beauty of the New England (particularly the State of Maine) coast line with an emotional tie to the mysteries of sea glass. Wonderful family story.

Wonderful for all ages!

This book is a must have for anyone who grew up near the rocky seacoast of New England. The story is written well and the book is beautifully illustrated. The author also includes activities with sea glass at the end of the book.
