Flotsam

Flotsam (Caldecott Medal Book)
This Caldecott winner illustrates beautifully a story about a curious boy at a beach.  He is closely observing several sea critters on shore when a harsh wave brings in an old fashion camera.  After developing the pictures, he notices they are so unique and decides to be part of this interesting picture taking method.  The illustrations are incredible and full of color, detail, and so realistic.  This book didn't need words to express what the other wanted to say.  The illustrations established the setting and developed the plot.
