Product Description

Veteran storyteller and nature lover Thornton W. Burgess provides fascinating information to young readers as he describes coastal areas along the Atlantic Ocean.

Along the way he weaves the area’s many life forms into an entertaining tale that’s also an illustrated guide to the seashore’s natural history.

Author and conservationist Thornton W. Burgess (1874–1965) wrote thousands of animal stories for children, starting with the 1910 publication of Old Mother West Wind. Burgess’s tales convey his fascination with wildlife and his concern for nature, teaching gentle lessons about ecology and respect for the environment.
