ISBN: 9781554531417.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook closely. Look very closely. Is it ? a string of beads? Stars in the sky? Give up? Just turn the page and, lo and behold, its an ochre sea star! See what looks like a birds beak revealed as a gooseneck barnacle, blades of grass as a blue mussel, and many more surprises when you look closely along the shore. The Looking Closely series takes children on a journey of discovery through four environments -- the forest, the shore, the desert and the garden. Frank Serafinis camera lens enlarges each world through the magic of close-up photography. Young eyes will rediscover our planet as a place of beauty, mystery and delight. Readers are first challenged to guess the identity of each close-up photograph. The next page reveals the entire photograph of the plant, animal or natural object accompanied by a simple but detailed description of the habitat. By inspiring children to ask questions and use their imaginations, these books help build problem-solving skills. They also encourage curiosity about environments that, examined this closely, are full of unexpected wonders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kids Can Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44669306404917,"sku":"ByrdShop_1554531411","price":35.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1554531411_c212836b-072a-46f8-8e19-40c39d3bf2d0_6523bdd5-e906-4d10-a4e1-ceb4f013e644.jpg?v=1789832311","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/looking-closely-along-the-shore-9781554531417","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
