Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there''s no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.''Beautiful child's graphic novel... Wiesner keeps his viewpoint strictly childlike, magnifying the mundane until you see his world in a grain of sand.'' EVENING STANDARD''Beautiful'' TELEGRAPH''Wonderfully imaginative . . . The pictures are packed with details and each re-reading provides more joy'' BOOKSELLER''From arguably the most inventive and cerebral visual storyteller in children''s literature comes a wordless invitation . . . not to be resisted'' KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
