Description:
A bright, curious boy spends his day at the beach collecting flotsam — odd treasures washed up by the tide — when an unusual find rolls onto the sand: a barnacle-encrusted, old-fashioned underwater camera. When he gets the film developed, he can hardly believe what he sees. Glowing mechanical fish, an octopus reading bedtime stories to baby fish in a saggy armchair, miniature aliens drifting through coral gardens, and entire little cities perched on the backs of sea turtles. Stranger still, one photograph shows a child holding a photograph of another child, who is holding a photograph of yet another, stretching back through time. What will this thoughtful young beachcomber do next? A Caldecott Medal-winning, completely wordless picture book by three-time winner David Wiesner, magnificently illustrated in watercolour and packed with details to discover on every spread.
