Sea Shells - by Annika


Last week I checked out three books from the library about shells. I have not finished one but I have learned a lot about shells. Here are some of the ones I learned about. Bubble shells are large and light brown, sometimes striped with white. A queen conch is a little bigger then a football and are a pretty pink and light brown. Sundials are the size of Gabe's palm, shaped like a cinnamon roll with the colors of white, brown and black. I bought a shell here at a local shop. I think it is in the bonnet family.

Snails live in most sea shells. I have eaten snail once... it was an abalone. Abalone Tony caught them when we were in Bodega Bay. It was very good and it taste like chicken.
