Children's Hardcover Book: "When the Tide is Low" by Sheila Cole, Illustrated Fiction, Educational Picture Book, First Edition

A wonderful children's hardcover book called When the Tide is Low by Sheila Cole. This fictional book is beautifully illustrated by Virginia Wright-Frierson. It is an ex-library book and a First Edition.

A story of a little girl who wants to go to the beach. But her mom tells her that they have to wait until the tide is low. While the little girl waits, she swings on the swing and her mother uses that as a way to teach her about how the tides work--back and forth, like the movement of the swing. They also bide the time by talking about some of the creatures they will see at the beach when they go. As it teaches children about the tide, it also gives information about the things that you may see in the ocean when the tide is low enough. At the end is a glossary of the different animals you may see at the beach at low tide.
