"The Little Book of Sea-Beans and other Beach Treasures" is indeed little: a pocket-size (2.75" x 4.0") beach companion designed to be carried with you as you scour the beaches for beans and whatever you may consider a "treasure". It is an 80 page softcover book, entirely black and white, with information and illustrations (by Cathie Katz and Pamela Paradine) of about 40 sea-beans and a variety of other "beach treasures"... those you are most likely to find on semi-tropical shores, particularly of the Western North Atlantic Ocean. Discover the "magic" of sea-beans from Cathie's eyes and learn about ocean currents and how they carry things like sea-beans, toys and shoes! Some of the more common sea life washed ashore is also presented and discussed.
