Description

A lake turns into an island. A cozy bay into a secluded cape. A gulf with sea turtles transforms into a peninsula surrounded by pirate ships. This unique information book for the very young switches between bodies of water and corresponding land masses with the simple turn of a page. Readers will delight as the story unfolds and will see just how connected the earth and the water really are.

Reviews

*There are fun details to pore over in each textured picture, which draw on Hale's particular skill with nature scenes, and the pages are sturdy, well designed, and quite charming.--Booklist, starred review
