Seashells More Than a Home by Melissa Stewart illustrated by Sarah S. Brannen*

Ms. Stewart reveals interesting information about the animals that live in shells and how shells are more than just a home for these creatures. 
My nine year old and I were amazed at some the new facts we learned!
Multiple aged book-the main text is simple.  Under each main idea statement are details, which may appeal to older listeners. 
The illustrations enhance and explain the text further.
Love her use of similes.
The end pages reveal where the different types of shells can be found in the world.
