Customer Reviews

follow the coast

Following The Coast is about a trip Jim Arnosky and his wife took to the coast. They teach us all about the animals that live on the salt marshes. The book tells us facts about observing nature. It taught me that low tide is the best time to find birds in the salt marsh. When the water is low the birds are able to find food there better. What did you like or not like about the book? Following the Coast is a very informative book. This book will help children understand these creatures of the deep better. I enjoyed looking all the pictures the book had of all types of salt marsh creatures. Would you recommend this book? Why or Why not? We recommend this book to children ages 5-8. Kids are curious about life near the coast and ocean and this is great book for them to read to learn more about it. The book would be a great read aloud to science classes as well.
