Winner of the 2014 Silver Falchion Award: Sponsored by Barnes & Noble and Mystery Writers of America. "An entertaining examination of oceanographic food webs, good for both everyday read-alouds and classroom instructional use... An informational picture book that solves a whodunit of the sea in lilting, rhyming text." (Kirkus Review) Was it a shark, or did some other sea creature make a perfectly drilled hole in a clamshell? Come along and solve the mystery. Did You Make the Hole in the Shell in the Sea? has rhythmic and rhyming text. Each expressive character helps to bring the story to life, and although the story is fictitious, all of the characters tell an authentic tale of what really happens at the edge of the sea. The repetitive text and rich vocabulary make this a fun book for learners ages three to 10 and for families. This book is also an entertaining choice for any classroom teacher who's studying the sea and searching for a fun book packed with true facts about coastal marine life, including sea stars, lobsters, clams, moon snails, and seagulls. Don't miss this seaside adventure. The journey is about to begin. And the next time you find a shell at the beach with a perfectly drilled hole, you'll know exactly what made the hole in the shell in the sea!
