About this ebook
A highly acclaimed, wordless Caldecott Award-winning picture book from the only living three-time winner of the Caldecott Medal: David Wiesner.
A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam-anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.
'Beautiful child’s graphic novel... Wiesner keeps his viewpoint strictly childlike, magnifying the mundane until you see his world in a grain of sand.' EVENING STANDARD
'Beautiful' TELEGRAPH
'Wonderfully imaginative . . . The pictures are packed with details and each re-reading provides more joy' BOOKSELLER
'From arguably the most inventive and cerebral visual storyteller in children's literature comes a wordless invitation . . . not to be resisted' KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
