Reviews
"His depiction of the children and the life of the seashore is accurate yet lyrical, with several interesting shifts in perspective. The little girl, refreshingly, is definitely the leader." --School Library Journal
"Foreman's characteristically spacious composition and subtly graded washes are in close harmony with his theme of the vastness and fragility of the natural world." --Times Literary Supplement
"Michael Foreman has a flair for turning a book into a special occasion." --Quentin Blake, author, Quentin Blake's Ten Frogs
