Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This beautifully written and illustrated children's book is the companion volume and sequel to "A Gull's Story," the beloved ABC picture book of the Jersey Shore.

"A Gull's Story, Part 2" teaches counting at the Shore, from 1 to 20, and revisits the Gull Family and "Baby Gull" (who now, a few years older, prefers to be called "Little Gull") and their adventures along the Jersey Coast.

Children will love Little Gull's counting journey at the Shore where he learns not only to count but also of the natural wonders, creatures, and landmarks that make up his world along the coast.

Thoughtfully written by acclaimed poet/author Frank Finale ("A Gull's Story" and "To The Shore Once More, Volumes I & II") and once again exquisitely illustrated by children's book artist Margie Moore, this book will not only appeal to preschoolers learning their numbers but also to all children (through age 9) who want to learn about the Jersey Shore. The book includes a website where a comprehensive workbook for children and teachers can be downloaded for free.

"A Gull's Story, Part 2" is not only a children's book about the Jersey Shore but has been written and illustrated with a universal appeal for children wanting to learn about all coastlines. It will be enjoyed by children from all areas of the U.S. who want to learn about America's shores.

Highly detailed and visually stunning, it is a book children, parents, and lovers of the Jersey Shore will use and treasure for years to come.

Margie Moore. When asked to illustrate a companion volume to "A Gull's Story," Margie Moore was happy to have another chance to revisit the natural and physical wonderment of the Jersey Shore that captivated her imagination as a child growing up in the seaside town of Belmar, New Jersey.

Besides illustrating the "A Gull's Story" books, her endearing style of art has merited numerous other titles including "Bartholowmew's Blessing"; the "Ruby Raccoon 'I Can Read'" book series (all from HarperCollins Publishers); the "Little Brown Bear" books; and "Hillside Lullaby" (all from Dutton Children's Books).

Margie and her husband live very near to where she grew up along the Jersey Shore.
