Wonderful story told through a series of pictures of a boy on a beach who is exploring what he finds that washes up on shore until he finds a camera, develops the pictures and find a spectrum of fantastical events happening in the under water world, such as a mechanical fish, octopus reading, and islands attached to giant sea stars. The most intriguing is when he finds a photo of a girl holding a photo of a boy holding a photo and on and on. He zooms the photo in to find multiple children holding the photos down to the original. He takes a picture of himself with the photo and throws the camera back out to sea, where a girl finds the camera on the last page.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0618194576, Hardcover)A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. 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.In each of his amazing picture books, David Wiesner has revealed the magical possibilities of some ordinary thing or happening--a frog on a lily pad, a trip to the Empire State Building, a well-known nursery tale. This time, a day at the beach is the springboard into a wildly imaginative exploration of the mysteries of the deep, and of the qualities that enable us to witness these wonders and delight in them.
