Illustrated by
Jim Sollers.
The survival techniques of animals that inhabit a beach intertidal zone are introduced through a repeated phrase, a few facts in parentheses, and colorful close-up illustrations (although each animal is unique, many of their adaptations are similar). The focus is squarely on the animals, with only brief explanations of the tidal zone and tides.
