For example: "As fish and other animals feed on seaweed, crabs use the seaweed as a place to hide from predatory seabirds. As barnacles feed on plankton, dog whelks go hunting for barnacles. And after an oystercatcher eats a dog whelk, a hermit crab that’s grown too big for its shell, moves into the empty dog whelk shell!" • Packed with curriculum science information • See microscopic tide pool plankton up close • Discover how seaweed is essential to seashore life • Learn about the food, homes, and life cycles of seashore animals • Controlled vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure • Beautiful, labelled photographs throughout • Close photo/text match • Includes a seashore food web diagram Filled with facts about the natural world, this title is perfect for students studying habitats, animal and plant life cycles, and ecosystems.
