About the author

Janet Lawler is the author of many books for children and is particularly inspired by the natural world. Her inspiration for this book came after listening to a YouTube recording of ten hours’ worth of walrus sounds, after which she wanted to learn more about these interesting creatures and share that knowledge with young readers. She had great fun creating words that reflect the weird noises walruses make! Janet Lawler lives with her family in Connecticut.

Beautifully illustrated pop-up book of shells in their natural habitat.

[Kris · Rating 3 out of 5]

Beautiful, but doesn't seem like it's actually for small children. Statistics, scientific principles, death as prey. It feels like it's for older audiences than a little kid interested in seashells.

Beautiful book. To my surprise, the kids I read it to were interested in the facts shared throughout, not just the pictures.

Great, beautiful pop up paper art completely outclasses the borderline vapid text.
