Bears Buddy and Mama spend a day at the beach collecting shells, learning about them, and taking breakfast, snack, and lunch breaks. As an informational book about shells, this is useful, but the story is forced. Wallace's cut-paper illustrations showcase plenty of examples of the featured shells. The endpapers differentiate between cold- and warm-water shells.
