ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- I love a children's book that teaches me something I didn't know, almost as much as I love children's books that present what I do know in a form that can reach younger readers.
This splendid book is companion to the Wave Atlas from late last year, and is in a similar format. It starts with the water cycle, explains how oceans are formed and currents caused and what tides are, before detailing what a wave is and the Douglas Sea Scale that measures waves in a wind sea from 0 (glassy calm waves) up to 9 (phenomenally high waves) and then the swell of the sea, where 0 is no swell and 0 is confused.
With text that is both factual, and imaginative, and illustrations that range from descriptively technical to decorative, this is a wonderful example of a book that teaches, inspires and mixes the scientific with the artistic. Give it to anyone who loves the sea! Lindy
