Pier At The End Of The World, The

  • CLASSROOM GUIDE

     

    A CBC/NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book

    Correlations to the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core ELA.

     

    With lyrical writing and outstanding underwater photogra- phy, this picture book follows a day in the life of the deni- zens lurking in the cold, tide-swept waters beneath a remote pier on the shore of a northern sea. A wolf fish munching a sea urchin, a hermit crab switching shells, a sea slug arming itself with stinging cells stolen from an anemone, a starfish thrusting its stomach through its mouth to digest its prey, exotic basket stars straining the water for food, a 35-pound hundred-year-old lobster guarding his domain, and other creatures take us from dawn to darkness. Panoramic paint- ings show the bigger picture, including the eyes of nighttime predators and the creatures who are missing the following morning. An appendix of macro-photos shows the tiny ani- mals that are critical to the food web.
