|  | Tide Pools by Carmen Bredeson
Seaweed, rock crabs, plankton, sea stars -- these are just a few of the living things that tumble toward the shore along with the waves. Some of these sea creatures are carried back out into the open ocean as the tide goes out, but others are stranded in the tide pools scattered along rocky beaches. This book describes the battle for survival that tide pool creatures must fight every day. AUTHOR: Carmen Bredeson
