Wiesner, David. (2006). Flostam. New York, Clarion Books, 2006.
The book is well-bound and has handled use very well. The leaves are 11″ x 9″ matching the wide expanse of the Jersey Shore. In addition, they are study yet soft to the touch, which is ideal for a wordless picture book.
This is a perfect book for children to use to create their own story. The book could be paired with a field trip to an aquarium or museum.
The illustrations are created with beautiful colors and are full of details.A boy is at the beach with family exploring the sand and surf. He finds an underwater camera, which reveal hidden treasures throughout the ocean and through time. **Had to look up the definition of flotsam (Merriam-Webster).
Ages 5 to 8 (maybe include 3 or 4 year olds)
