There’s much to discover meandering along a New Zealand beach with small children when the tide is out.

This simple bilingual counting book, with watercolour illustrations, features many treasures to encourage their curiosity.

Although set at Huia on the Manukau Harbour, many of these shells, creatures and birds can be found on beaches throughout the country.

Tides Out will help children reinforce their counting skills whilst introducing them to the fascinating seashore life on New Zealand beaches.

Written by Frances Plumpton, translated by Darren Joseph and illustrated by Stephanie Thatcher
