A Gull's Story ~ A Tale Of Learning about Life, the Shore, and the ABCs ~ • written by Frank Finale • illustrated by Margie Moore www.FrankFinale.com • margiemooreillustration.com • To order, please scroll to the bottom of this page. • Click here for a free workbook for children, parents, and teachers! • RECENT REVIEWS "Supported and brightened visually by marvelous illustrations by Margie Moore, who manages to create magically detailed drawings, Frank Finale, the legendary shore poet, gifts children with A Gull's Story, an ABC book rich with the details of true life feelings. Baby Gull learns the alphabet from his loving parents through shore images: from A for Atlantic Ocean, "mother of us all," to B for Barnagat Lighthouse, sometimes called 'Old Barney,' to C for Crabs.."watch their claws," to E for Egret..."by the eel grass looking for something to eat," to Jersey Devil, to V for "vacations...and Victorian houses by the sea." Q and R are my favorite letters, both for content and beauty of illustrations. Q for the simple quahog makes the point that the "Lenni-Lenape Indians made wampum beads." The illustration has two beautiful Indian children collecting these shells, making the natural connection. The faces of both girls are sweet, angelical, and wondrous. An illustration worth the price of the book. R "for the red fox, the rabbit, the raccoon and the red-winged blackbird who use the tall reeds by the river for rest. Remember, rest is important," Papa Gull said. The illustration here is incredibly rich with details and the words make the healing point of family love and caring. This is a book kids will learn by and live by. Entire families will find joy in its Life-Affirmative message. It is a book full of love. Everybody run to your nearest bookstore and buy it." —Emanuel di Pasquale, Paterson Literary Review, Issue 32, 2003 • "A Gull's Story is a beautiful children's picture book that goes through the ABCs using images that you find at the Jersey shore. A is for the Atlantic Ocean; B is for the Barnegat Lighthouse, "E is for the egret by the eel grass in the estuary looking for something to eat." (There's a glossary at the back for young readers.) The watercolor illustrations are soothing and dreamy and make me want to drive to the shore this minute. "J is for the Jersey Devil, a mythical winged creature with a horse's head, a vulture's claws, and a dragon's tail that people say roams the Pine Barrens. If you ever see him, jump!" It's the perfect picture book for any family that loves the Jersey shore." —Carol Van Houten, The Constant Reader, Issue 62, March 17, 2003 • "A Gull's Story is a great tool for beginning readers and a beautiful collection of story and art for the rest of us." —Supervisor in The Toms River Regional Schools • $22.00 • Jersey Shore Publications is pleased to offer "A Gull's Story, A Tale of Learning about Life, the Shore, and the ABCs."
