How the Oysters Saved the Bay

32 pp. | Schiffer | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7643-4283-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Chester and Meredith rally their fellow Chesapeake Bay oysters to do what oysters do: filter the water to grow healthier plants that will feed their underwater neighbors better. The chipper anthropomorphized mollusks' concern and goodwill saves the "crying" grasses. It's all too much, but the collage-style, natural-hued illustrations evoking an aquatic environment are nice; a series of clear overlays is a highlight.
