Olly the Oyster Cleans the Bay by Elaine Ann Allen

All in all, a great book on the blue-green briny deep. I know that Kelli Nash's illustrations will motivate someone who loves that look. I recently viewed some of Christi Friesen's polymer clay art in Belle Armoire Jewelry's Jun/Jul/Aug, 2010 edition. Lastly, mixed media artists may be interested in the rich and striking pictures of sea life. I can highly recommend this book to elementary school teachers and parents of homeschoolers. There is also an important story that teaches morals. Your child will learn the importance of oysters purifying water. But when Olly spies a sunken ship just beyond the oyster reef, he decides to explore the old wreck to see if there is treasure on board. We have witnessed seabirds diving for food, smelled the fishy salt water and have gone 'shelling'.

I would suggest the 4-10 year old age group as the ideal range.Īs I have mentioned previously, OLLY'S TREASURE is a learning tool. We not only looked for character(s) mentioned on each page but he also picked out other sealife and either told me what it was or wanted to know the name (fish, snail, shell, etc). Colorful and descriptive, it reminded me somewhat of a 'Where's Waldo?' picture book that was in vogue years ago.
