Discover twelve kinds of seashells in this beautifully illustrated, rhyming and counting book for kids! Perfect for a trip to the beach, the classroom, and a gift for a granddaughter or grandson. Includes two full-page tear-out sheets of all twelve kinds of shells for kids to take with them (only available in the paperback edition).

Also available as a board book, which counts from one to ten!

Follow along with Sue and her friends and she picks up shells and carefully adds them to her bucket as a birthday gift for her Grandma! As Sue collects new shells, each one appears on along the side of the page, so kids can keep count.

But be careful—there may be a mollusk still living inside a shell! Sue and her friend release a mollusk back to the ocean when they find it still inside of its home.

Kids will learn about an assortment of seashells, including:

  • Kitten's paw shells
  • Scallop shells
  • Oyster shells
  • Moon shells
  • And more!

Backmatter Includes:

  • Information on how shells are made, and the mollusks that live inside of them
