Shell Day
A Story of 24 Hours and 24 Molluscan Lives"The 'Earth Day' series takes to the seas with the newest installment, looking at shells and what lives in them. Marine biologist Scales (Cambridge Univ.; Around the Ocean in 80 Fish and Other Sea Life) views shells as ‘gateway treasures’ to the ocean; the mollusks in the book include marine, freshwater, and terrestrial species. Each chapter shares the common and scientific name of the mollusk, where it’s found, the time of day readers meet it, and a detailed pen-and-ink illustration. For marine species for whom tides influence much of their lives, tidal regimes are included. Scales offers exciting glimpses into the lives of mollusks and brings context to the animal’s life, explaining the whys behind its way of being. It may be scientific, but it is a magical peek into their world. Chapters hint at the bleak future these creatures face if manmade threats are allowed to continue. The book ends with a call to action, encouraging readers to make minor life changes that have a significant impact on the oceans. VERDICT Ocean lovers and shell admirers will find plenty to enjoy; a must for libraries with the rest of the series in their collection.”
