Product Description

Dive into the rich ecology of tide pools and watch a hidden world spring in this masterful nonfiction picture book for very young readers.

Twice a day when the tide goes out, an astonishing world is revealed in the tide pools that form along the Pacific Coast.

Some of the creatures that live here look like stone. Others look like plants. Some move so slowly its hard to tell if theyre moving at all, while others are so fast youre not sure you really saw them. The biggest animals in the pool are smaller than your hand, while the smallest cant be seen at all without a microscope.

During low tide, all these creatures big, small, fast, slow are exposed to air and the suns drying heat. And so they have developed ways to survive the wait until the oceans return.

Candace Fleming is the author of Honeybee, which received an Orbis Pictus Honor and 7 starred reviews. She brings her knack for making science and nature appealing to the very young in The Tidepool Waits with detailed accounts of dozens of species of sea life, culminating in a perfect primer for students and nature lovers taking their first trip to the shore. Her text is accompanied by effervescent artwork by Amy Hevron and substantial backmatter.

Review

"Onomatopoeic text and clear images together convey the phenomenon of the tide pool clearly to even landlocked readers."Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"Using lyrical language that appeals to the senses, Fleming introduces these Pacific Coast intertidal-zone features. . . . Seattle-based illustrator Hevron's artwork, rendered in acrylic paint and pencil, employs a colorful palette to depict this dynamic ecosystem. . . . A perfect introduction to these amazing rock pools, appropriate for primary science lessons and curious beach-goers alike."Booklist, Starred Review

"Fleming makes great use of action verbs, engaging descriptions, and just the right amount of repetition to draw readers into the tide pool and hold their interest. The dynamic text placement helps reinforce the movement of the ocean, while Hevrons illustrations give life to the words and with every graceful overlay of line and wash, effectively depict the creatures and the ocean itself."School Library Journal

"Informative and appealing. . . . Flemings expertly paced text rolls much like the 'restless' wave on the shore. . . . Hevrons textured illustrations invite close inspection. . . ."The Horn Book
