The Sea, the Storm, and the Mangrove Tangle

Dog earred and title page torn out. This was gift for collector. Completely unacceptable.

These books I bought to fit into my Benchmark Advance curriculum and worked perfectly in my units.

Superbly written and illustrated!!!! Covers many levels of concepts fundamentally as well as inspiring one to continue to research which is a very advantageous effort when including your child!!!! All of Lynne Cherry'sbooks that I've read with my family are delightfully enlightening, and conversation enducing. Enjoy her shared treasures.

it's a great book to use in the classroom when you are teaching about how barrier islands are formed and how they protect the mainland during hurricanes!

An absolutely wonderful book. Beautiful illustrations. If you are looking for quality reading material for your children, then this is a "must have" in you library.

EXCELLENT

Great book for Florida!

Most striking is the artwork. The pictures are truly very engaging and magical, even for a three year old. The story told by the drawings themselves is most compelling--simply the life of a mangrove (tangle) over many years and through many storms (harboring many animals). The story shows how it sprouts from a floating seed. Very relevant book for anyone visiting or living near mangroves. The text is nice too; however, too dry for a small child. I give it four rather than five stars because I felt the text could have been more engaging.
