The ebb and flow of the tide give shape to this striking picture book about the seashore. The tide goes out and tide pools and beach come to life; the tide returns and they're covered, waiting for the cycle to being again. With bold, striking art, a simple, elegant structure, and repetition of sounds and images, The Tide is accessible to the youngest child. A perfect choice for summer!

Rezensionen

PreSchool-Grade 1-The many sights and sounds of the ocean can be experienced through this vibrantly colored concept book about the rising and falling of the tide. A red fishing boat pulls out of the harbor, "chug, chug, chug." Readers also see a yellow-slickered clam digger, seagulls, geese flying, bird-watchers on the shore, and crabs in small tidal pools. The alliterative text curves and swoops across the pages like rolling waves, following the rhythm of the sea as the tide ebbs and flows. As the gurgling water starts to gush with the returning tide, the shore birds scatter, and the clam digger leaves the beach with his shellfish. The lighthouse beams the way for the fishing boat to return on the high tide. High-quality graphics on each spread, and brilliant blues and whites that contrast with the bold red and yellow, make this a visually appealing book for storytimes. Combine it with Debra Frasier's Out of the Ocean (Harcourt, 1998) for a great "beach day" program.
