At the Beach: explore and discover the New Zealand seashore is a wonderfully illustrated book perfect for families who want to get more out of their time at the beach. It has detailed description of what might be found at different types of beaches, e.g. mudflats, sandy or rocky. It also has a removable waterproof identification guide you take take along with you to the beach!
I’m liking
Everything! This book has great illustrations, and being able to identify what you have found at the beach is such a buzz for kids. I particularly like that this is New Zealand based, so there are no animals or plants that you won’t recognise.
The conclusion
This is a great book for preschoolers up to intermediate age. I would highly recommend it if you’re planning to spend a bit of time at the beach this summer. I think you could while away hours exploring the beach environment with the identification guide in hand!
