About Habitats: Seashore by Cathryn Sill -OPTIONAL

Sill, Cathryn About Habitats: Seashore PICTURE BOOK. Peachtree, 2017.  $17.
A simple explanation of what a seashore it, the types, and what creatures live there. Features watercolor illustrations.
The text in this book could not have been written better for helping younger readers to understand about seashores. Perfect for Kindergarten. Though I prefer big bright photographs in non-fiction, the illustrations are quite lovely, cool and subdued feeling. Overall I think the book has a dated feel (I was sure it was a reprint but its not) and I don’t think students would choose this book on their own over say, the DK seashore book we have, but it would make a perfect teaching tool for a read-aloud on habitats.
