Flotsam

This is an interesting wordless book to look at. It doesn't have pictures that you would normally see. The colors in the pictures are great and the detail of the pictures are amazing. Flotsam begins with a kid combing the beach for items to look at the may have washed ashore, flotsam. As he is looking a crab he is swept up by a wave and finds a camera has just washed ashore beside him. He takes the book the the photo shop and develops the pictures and finds some really strange pictures. The camera had taken pictures underwater along its journey, and the pictures aren't things you would ever expect to see. The boy then finds a very interesting picture and looks closer and closer at the picture with hit magnifying glass, then with his microscope.
This book is very fun to look at. The pictures really make the book, which they have to because there are no words. I think readers of all ages could read this book because it is a long book and takes you on a journey through the ocean from the cameras perspective. It really causes the reader to think about what goes on when we can't see things and if there really are strange occurrences that happen when humans can't see them. I really liked this book, its one of those books that you can look through and either create a story or just enjoy and thoroughly observe the pictures.
