Product Description
A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.
In each of his amazing picture books, David Wiesner has revealed the magical possibilities of some ordinary thing or happening--a frog on a lily pad, a trip to the Empire State Building, a well-known nursery tale. This time, a day at the beach is the springboard into a wildly imaginative exploration of the mysteries of the deep, and of the qualities that enable us to witness these wonders and delight in them.

He quickly processed the fascinating pictures and used his own words, observations and imagination to make up a story full of details and comments. I then gave the book to my daughter and enjoyed a different reaction and story. Inevitably, the kids asked me to take them to the beach so they might find the ... Read More

An entrancing wordless fantasy about a boy who finds a magical camera at the beach. The pictures on its film are full of fantastical images -- a school of fish with a robotic member, octopuses lounging on sofas and chairs, aliens touring the bottom of the sea with cameras; giant starfish with islands on their backs. The final photo is of the last child who discovered it, holding a photo of the child before her, who is holding a photo of the last child, and so on. Seeing this, he takes his own photo ... Read More

This is an excellent picture book about an adventure that everyone wants to go on. Delve deep into the sea and up beyond space to see worlds that you never knew existed... or did you?
