Produktbeschreibung

Narrated in the poetic voice of the estuary itself, and accompanied by natural-history sidebars about estuary plants, animals, and cycles, THE SECRET BAY is another topnotch nature book from the author and illustrator of the award-winning, bestselling The Secret Pool. * A stand-alone book and a stunning companion volume to Ridley and Raye's award-winning Secret Pool. * Ridley deftly augments the estuary's lyrical narrative voice with sidebars about the plants, animals, and natural processes of an estuary. * Raye's gorgeous watercolors reveal new features and hidden treats with each reading. * Back matter includes The Estuary Food Web, Great Escapes (how estuary animals avoid predators), and an author's note about the challenges facing estuaries. * A perfect book for the budding naturalist and for his or her parents and teachers.
