Details:

The bestselling series that began with Tree: A Peek-Through Picture Book now adds an elaborate and beautiful children's book with peek-through holes that show the amazing life in the world's oceans. Discover a world teeming with life beneath the waves, with graceful sea horses, darting tropical fish, electric eels, and humpback whales. A colorful array of sea creatures is brought to life by award-winning illustrator Britta Teckentrup in this delightful, innovative picture book—with peek-through holes that reveal details of life in the ocean with each turn of the page. It's the perfect light nonfiction book for young readers curious about the world around them. And it will spark great conversations about the importance of keeping our oceans clean and protecting the amazing creatures who live there. Look for all the books in the Peek-Through Picture Book series: Tree, Bee, Moon, and The Twelve Days of Christmas. From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 1-With rhyming text, vibrant illustrations, and small-scale cut-outs that little fingers will love, this book introduces young readers to a variety of creatures that live in the ocean. Each page contains two simple lines that rhyme, and each two-page spread captures one animal or thought. For example, "Gleaming and sparkling, the coral sea/Is a place of magical mystery./As the ocean's tides ebb and flow,/ A secret world lies deep below." Children will be introduced to a variety of marine creatures: lionfish, sea horses, puffer fish, great white sharks, dolphins, humpback whales, and manatees. The narrative jumps somewhat randomly between creatures that live near a coral reef and those that are dwellers of the open ocean. VERDICT With stylized illustrations that really pop, this colorful book will introduce children to the creatures of our beautiful ocean but cannot replace more scientifically based nonfiction titles.-Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, Hillsborough, CA
