TammyReynolds | Nov 22, 2009 |  Flotsam is about 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. (  ) JamieJohnson | Nov 2, 2009 | Very deserving of the Caldecott Award. This is an ingenious wordless book of what a boy finds floating up on the surf when he is at the beach. Super illustrations, no words needed it would be too much. ( ) CChristophersen | Oct 26, 2009 | Beautiflly illustrated book. The attention to detail is fantastic. The pictures tell a story of a boy on the beach who finds a camera that washes up on shore. He develops the pictures and they tell a fantastic story as the camera floated through the sea. He decides to add himself to the picture and he throws it back into the ocean for another child to find it. anncampbell | Oct 23, 2009 | Wiesner's incredible imagination takes us to the beach, where a boy discovers and examines flotsam washed up on the beach. The boy finds an old, mysterious camera, and after getting the photos developed, examines them under his microscope, only to reveal an incredibly imaginative & wild underwater world. Best of all, he finds a photograph of a child holding a photograph of a child holding a photograph of a.....etc. He examines it closely under the microscope and finally sees a boy, from the Victorian era, waving from his beach. A beautiful book whose illustrations & layout compliment the theme of time passing, and succeed in capturing all the quietness, solitude, reminscence and mystery. annashapiro | Oct 23, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
