摘要
摘要
Animals find many kinds of shelter--bears live in caves, birds make nests, and ants tunnel under the ground. Snails and turtles and scallops and other crustaceous creatures don't need to make homes for themselves--nature has provided them with permanent homes. Zoehfeld describes how, for each animal, a shell is also the perfect protection from predators. Full color.

PreS-Gr 1-The diversity of shelters in the animal world-bird nests, ant tunnels, and the cave of a bear-is contrasted with the nature and function of the self-contained housing of snails, turtles, and some crustaceans and mollusks. The softly toned watercolor illustrations amplify the text and show children in different settings observing various shelled creatures. The transient nature of the hermit crab is described, as is the scallop's shell-snapping mode of mobility. Zoehfeld places less emphasis on scientific names but includes broader coverage than Douglas Florian's Discovering Seashells (Scribners, 1986). She has written an easy-to-read, introductory science title.-Frances E. Millhouser, Reston Regional Library, VA (c) Copyright 2010.

A simple introduction to crustaceans -- snails, turtles, crabs, sea-snails, clams, oysters, and scallops -- provides general explanations in a clear, informative text and attractive watercolors. The book invites children to observe the animals and collect the shells, concluding with, 'Whether the shells you find are big or small, plain or fancy -- remember, a shell is someone's home.'

《书目》(Booklist)书评
Ages 4-6. Written for the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Stage 1 series, these colorful books are geared to preschool and kindergarten children. Tadpole begins with frogs hibernating in the pond mud all winter, then shows a year in their life cycle. Well-designed ink drawings washed with soft-toned watercolors stretch across the double-page spreads, showing the action above and below water level. Similar in its use of simple words and clear, appealing illustrations, Shell introduces the concept of shells as the homes of various animals, including land snails, turtles, whelks, conchs, crabs, clams, oysters, and scallops. The line drawings with watercolor washes show close-ups of particular shells in greater detail than the more general backyard, beach, and underwater scenes. Though a few seashells from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are identified, this is no field guide. It's an attractive, general introduction to the "what" and "why" of shells, rather than to "which is which." Two attractive choices for younger kids. ~--Carolyn Phelan
