About BookSpeed Anthology of Shells

A beautifully curated children’s seashell book that helps young beachcombers identify shells, learn where to find them, and discover what makes each one unique. Explore shapes, colours and textures, then meet the animals that make or wear them—snails, clams and crabs. With notes, photographs and illustrations of 100+ specimens, kids will soon tell limpets from abalones and cowries from helmet shells with confidence.

  • 100+ stunning specimens: full-colour photos and illustrations to compare side by side

  • Perfect for beach days & rockpooling: take it on seaside walks or use at home and school
