Summary

A World in a Bucket: A Beach Day Reflection

A brother and sister spend their day playing on the beach by a rock pool. They create their own tiny marine world in a bucket, and with its wildlife, shells, oil and even a tin can, it is a microcosm of the larger world outside.

With a series of stunning watercolours, the multi award-winning Michael Foreman makes clear his underlying concern about pollution within the environment.

Critics Review

“Michael Foreman has a flair for turning a book into a special occasion.”

“Michael Foreman has a flair for turning a book into a special occasion.” * Quentin Blake *“An important book” * The School Librarian *“No less an impressive statement for being a work of art … Foreman’s magical blues and yellows and the indefinite lines of his drawing underline the symbolic message … A quietly disturbing book this, which I fancy children will help their parents to understand.” * The Junior Bookshelf *“Foreman’s characteristically spacious composition and subtly graded washes are in close harmony with his theme of the vastness and fragility of the natural world.” * TLS *“Breathtaking watercolour illustrations weave a touching beachside tale.” * Baby Magazine *
