Understanding the humble pebble makes a trip to the beach, lake-side or river bank simply that little bit more fascinating. A handy illustrated guide to identifying pebbles is included on the reverse of this book jacket

This beautifully illustrated book is full of fascinating things found under the sea, from jellyfish to sharks and underwater robots. Arranged in topics such as "Coral reef", "Deep, dark sea" and "Exploring underwater" this is a great way for children or English learners to learn new words and talk about their favourite sea creatures.

Full of amazing creatures, beautiful seascapes and hundreds of underwater things, this is a lovely book for grown-ups and children to share and talk about together. Peek below the surface and see whales, eels and starfish, a coral reef and creatures of the deep. Discover food from the sea, ships and shipwrecks, and explore a map of the oceans.
