An Anthology of Shells: A Collection of Over 100 of the World's Most Fascinating Shells (DK Little Anthologies)

Published by DK, this visually rich field-guide-style book gathers more than 100 striking seashells from every ocean and sandy shore. Grouped by scientific family rather than story narrative, each double-page spread blends high-resolution photography with short, engaging facts about form, color, habitat, and the many ways humans have collected, traded, and studied shells through history. A handful of introductory spreads explain shell anatomy, evolutionary origins, and responsible collecting practices, giving young readers a rounded understanding of why shells matter to marine ecosystems and to people.
