Chapter 1 The Beach Every day the ocean goes up the beach at high tide, and it goes down the beach at low tide. The ocean moves with the wind, too. The wind makes waves. The ocean is salt water. It's big and strong. The ocean can break rocks and shells into pieces. The pieces of rock and shell hit the water and other rocks. Then they get very little. This is how the ocean makes rocks and shells into sand.

Chapter 2 Sand and Rocks What can you see in the sand and on the rocks at the beach? At low tide the tellin shell hides under the sand. It hides there because other animals like to eat it. It gets food and water with one of its siphons. The green flat periwinkle hides in green seaweed. Can you see it here? The barnacle lives on rocks. Its shell grows onto the rocks, so it doesn't move when there are waves. Discover! Some barnacles grow on whales!

Chapter 3 In Rockpools At low tide, the ocean moves down the beach. Then you can find rockpools. Let's look in a rockpool. Here's a crab. It gets food with its big, strong claws. It eats barnacles, starfish, and other little animals. It eats plants, too. Discover! The starfish can put its stomach out of its mouth! Then it can eat this big clam. Crabs eat starfish, and starfish eat clams. This is called a food chain.
