This is one of the most beguiling books children (or their elders) will find anywhere. The mysterious seashore world is so compellingly and simply presented by Mrs. Guberlet that every boy and girl who reads the book will likely want to make a hobby of marine biology.
The complex array of creatures that inhabit the edge of the briny deep really become interesting personalities as you learn of their individual peculiarities, their manner of living, loving, fighting, playing, and dying—just like human beings. And you'll be fascinated with the intensity of their struggle for existence against the harsh odds of. the sea. You'll be introduced to the small but mighty Plankton, which furnishes its own light; the curious Sponge who has no head, stomach or legs; the Jellyfish who has no eyes or teeth or sense of taste; the Tunicates who live in vari-colored apartment houses and many others, including the Starfish, Ocean Worms, Clams, Snails, Sea Angels, Devil Fish, Sand Hoppers, Crabs and Shrimps. You'll want to meet all of them and, after reading THE SEASHORE PARADE, you'll know all sorts of amazing things that you've never dreamed might exist and you'll have had a truly enjoyable experience.
