Interesting “first guide” about shells of all kinds.
Good illustrations.
Thank you.

I don't remember much about this book. Almost all of the animals in here gross me out and would have when I was a child as well. I enjoyed seeing small peeks about what are inside the various animals shells though, and I think this book, and the other in the series, would be useful to have around for children.
