Rock Pool

Extraordinary Encounters Between the Tides
An entrancing book of exploration, marine life and natural wonders.

'I recommend Heather's book to everyone. It's brilliant!' Dara McAnulty, author of Diary of a Young Naturalist

An entrancing book of exploration, marine life and natural wonders. The British beach is full of creatures that we think we know - from crabs to clams, starfish to anemones. But, in fact, we barely understand how many survive or thrive.

In Rock Pool, the delights of childhood paddling are elevated to oceanic discoveries, as the fragile beauty and drama of intertidal existence is illustrated through the incredible lives of twenty-four individual creatures.

'Three simple steps to help you feel better about the world: read Heather Buttivant's marvellous book, grab a pair of wellies and get yourself to a rocky shore. a thoughtful, enlightening and entertaining read' BBC Wildlife
