A remarkable community of hardy shoreline creatures flourishes in this environment of ever-changing conditions. In this third book in the West Coast Wild series, readers will meet brightly colored sea stars, a giant Pacific octopus, busy hermit crabs, delicate sand dollars, fish that camouflage and other intriguing marine animals that a child might see on a beach walk at low tide. Author Deborah Hodge relates fascinating facts about each of the fourteen creatures, while Karen Reczuch's vibrant watercolor illustrations bring the magnificent shoreline and its unique inhabitants to life."-- Provided by publisher.
