Come and explore the Pacific west coast—a magnificent region with an ancient rainforest, a rugged beach and a vast open ocean, where whales, bears, wolves, eagles and a rich variety of marine species thrive in an interconnected web of life. 

In this stunning nature alphabet book, author Deborah Hodge vividly describes what a child might see on a walk along the shore, from crashing waves to calm tidal pools, from huge gray whales to colorful sea stars. Karen Reczuch's breathtaking illustrations make us feel as though we are there.

Includes a note about the Pacific west coast and suggestions for exploring the region and for further reading.
