In this extraordinary Caldecott Medal winner and New York Times bestseller by David Wiesner, a beach day is the springboard to a wildly imaginative exploration of fantastical mysteries of the deep--and of human connections through time.A young boy comes to the beach eager to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. But nothing among his usual finds compares with the discovery of a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera with its own secrets to share...and to keep.Meet unexpected underseas denizens and enter fascinating worlds within worlds in this entrancing celebration of imagination, creativity, and the impulse to share that which delights and amazes us.A beautiful picture book by a master of the form, David Wiesner, who has been awarded the Caldecott Medal three times and the Caldecott Honor twice.Author: David WiesnerPublisher: Clarion BooksPublished: 09/01/2006Pages: 40Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 1.06lbsSize: 9.10h x 11.50w x 0.50dISBN: 9780618194575Audience: Ages 4-8Award: Parents Choice Award (Fall) (1998-2007) - WinnerAward: Caldecott Medal - WinnerAward: Book Sense Book of the Year Award - Honor BookAward: NAPPA Gold Awards - WinnerAward: Quill Awards - WinnerAward: Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - RecommendedAward: Red Clover Award - WinnerReview Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 07/24/2006 pg. 56Kirkus Review - Children 08/01/2006 pg. 798Booklist 08/01/2006 pg. 76School Library Journal 09/01/2006 pg. 186Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 09/01/2006 pg. 44 - RecommendedHorn Book Magazine 09/01/2006 pg. 571Time 12/11/2006 pg. 92New Yorker (The) 12/04/2006 pg. 93Kirkus Best Children's Books 12/01/2006 pg. 26New York Times 11/12/2006 pg. 26Booklist Ed Choice Youth 01/01/2007 pg. 16Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/2007 pg. 50 - Superior,Well Above AverageChristian Home & School 10/01/2007 pg. 26SLJ's Best Books 12/01/2006 pg. 43
