The Pearl Diver Hardcover – Illustrated, 26 Nov. 2015

A beautfiully drawn book, with an engaging story that looks back on an older way of life. It is good to find books that tell stories from different cultures. My children loved this book and the amazing watercoulours used to illustrate the story.

Nice story n illustrations for children

The Pearl Diver is a lovely story, bringing sharply into focus a way of life in another time and place, which has long since gone forever. The illustration are lovely and highly evocative, and the fact the main character is a boy makes it very accessible for younger readers.

All good. Thank you 😊

An excellent story with a historical edge - a great explanation about pearl divers.

We lived in the Gulf for many years and this book is very evocative of the region. Beautifully written and illustrated.

I would recommend this product to anyone interested in reading. Great for use in the classroom. It came as described and in good time. Would purchase from this user again.

This book crosses a number of categories - it is picture book, story book and fact book. We are taken into the world of Saeed, who is only six, as he learns the traditional trade of pearl diving. He spends the whole summer out at sea with his father on a pearling dhow, and we learn about a way of life (often dangerous) which was hugely important in the Arabian Gulf. Share with Saeed as he learns about the wonders of the sea, and how it sustains the pearl fishers through the long months. The delicate watercolour illustrations are perfect for conveying the atmosphere at sea and really involve the reader in the story. This is an informative story and a lovely way to learn about pearl fishing.
