Was it a shark, or did some other sea creature make a perfectly drilled hole in a clamshell? Come along and solve the mystery. "Did You Make the Hole in the Shell in the Sea?" has rhythmic and rhyming text, and simply drawn illustrations that are brightly colored and inviting. Each expressive character helps to bring the story to life, and although the story is fictitious, all of the characters tell an authentic tale of what really happens at the edge of the sea. The repetitive text and rich vocabulary make this a fun read aloud for ages 3-10 for families. This book is also an entertaining choice for any classroom teacher who's studying the sea, and searching for a fun book packed with true facts about coastal marine life including sea stars, lobsters, clams, moon snails, and seagulls. Don't miss this seaside adventure. The journey is about to begin. And the next time you find a shell at the beach with a perfectly drilled hole, you'll know exactly what made the hole in the shell in the sea.

"An entertaining examination of oceanographic food webs, good for both everyday read-alouds and classroom instructional use. An informational picture book that solves a whodunit of the sea in lilting, rhyming text."-- Kirkus Reviews
"This book is FANTASTIC... plays a great learning experience for ALL! I learned SO MUCH from this book when I read it to my class today. My classroom of 4th graders LOVED it!! Super author."
Debra Timberlake - Fourth Grade Teacher
"Janice S.C. Petrie's newest picture book about critters from the sea is as delightful as her first book, "The Bumpy, Lumpy Horseshoe Crab." The author continues to use a whimsical and rhyming text that keeps the interest of young children. The book is informative in an entertaining manner. From a teacher's perspective this book is a wonderful read aloud. I highly recommend it."
