If you want to learn about all different kinds of shells then this is the book for you. It contains not only animal, or ocean shells, but also food shells. It has a counting page at the end, and word list for young children to learn.
This is a very good book for young children to get information of the variety of shells. The illustrations are very basic, and so is the wording used throughout the plot.
Having students bring in different shells they find would be an extension idea for this book. Also, finding the words throughout the book that are used in the word list at the back of the book would be a good activity for the classroom. ( )
