內容簡介:
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.
