Houses from the Sea

Hardcover
(Charles Scribner's Sons, March 15, 1959)
One reviewer writes: What a wonderful book. With verse a bit like Mary Oliver poetry for children and the simple pencil drawings, we go along on a seashore journey of collecting all kinds of seashells - always brought to the shore by the retreat and return of the waves. But it isn't just a recounting of the shells, but a tactile description and an imagining of what each shell evoked. The drawings and verse will make this a very enjoyable for young readers.
