Flotsam

Description

A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to gather and examine flotsam–anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of each and every description are among his usual finds. But there is no way he may have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep. In each and every of his amazing picture books, David Wiesner has revealed the magical possibilities of a few atypical thing or happening–a frog on a lily pad, a travel to the Empire State Building, a well known nursery tale. This time, a day on the beach is the springboard into a wildly imaginative exploration of the mysteries of the deep, and of the qualities that enable us to witness these wonders and delight in them.
