Strengths:
A book for less than 3 quid!
Weaknesses:
Not very detailed
You can’t not buy this great little book considering the price! Ok it’s nowhere near as comprehensive as the Collins guide (my fav) but it does cover the most common sea shore life you are likely to encounter at your local beach, so for that reason I highly recommend this book. Also because it doesn’t swamp the reader with complex biology it would make a great book for young children. Enjoy.
