Product Description

A modern parable about a brother and sister who spend their day playing on the beach by a rock pool. They create their own tiny marine world in a bucket and, with its wildlife, shells, oil and even a tin can, it is a microcosm of the larger world outside. With a series of stunning watercolours, Michael Foreman makes clear his underlying concern about pollution within the environment, particularly on the seashore. The book's impact derives not only from Foreman's masterly skill as an artist, but also from the strength of his commitment to its theme.

One World
As a teacher and one that is passionate about environmental issues, I'm always looking for books that gently get the message across to our children. This is one such book. It left me with a smile on my face. I would imagine that after reading this, children will be eager to get to the beach and follow the actions of the two children in the book. It will, hopefully, make them look at the world with more understanding about our effects on it and encourage them to be more caring.The words are gentle and the watercolour pictures make you feel that you are there - a part of the story. Suitable for primary children.
