At The Beach

At The Beach is a delightful introduction to the natural history of the New Zealand seashore. 

The stage is set with beautiful, factually correct illustrations (including detailed cross-sections) of three familiar habitats—the sandy beach, rockpools, and mudflats.

Many of the plants and animals that play a part in these rich ecosystems are shown in situ, and readers are directed from there to pages dedicated to detailed coverage of:

• crabs
• sea stars, kina, and sea anemones
• shellfish
• seaweeds, sponges, and sandhoppers
• fish, jellyfish & shrimps
• birds
