274C: Children’s Book About Pelicans (Solved)

I am looking for a hardback book I read to my daughter in the early 90s.  It was about a family who visited a place and the child (boy, I believe) watched for a pelican.  I am fuzzy on the plot, but the most distinctive feature of the book is that every other page was a half sheet vertically, so that the illustration and text would change when turning the half page.  I would love to find this volume and purchase for my grandson.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I made the original query and since then have found the book in question. It is Pelican by Brian Wildsmith. It is a lovely story and has, of course, marvelous illustrations. It was one of my daughter’s favorites and now we have one for her son. Thanks for posting the request and I am glad I can provide the answer.
