The Disappearing Island by Corinne Demas
I enjoyed reading this book. The illistrations by Ted Lewin were very detailed and went along with the text very well. This book was about a real island off the shore of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which I found out by reading the author's note at the end of the book. The book went into detail about the ocean and the boat that the little girl and her grandma ride on. This book would be great to use in a unit about the ocean or other topics concerning the coast. I liked how the illistrations were different in the story when the little girl was daydreaming. The illistrations were all in shades of orange and yellow to portray her sight from behind her eyes under the sun! This book was very helpful in explaining how the tides of the ocean work and why this particular island is slowly disappearing in the middle of the ocean.
