This is a fun dive into the ocean to discover a few interesting creatures which live there.

Sturdy and ready for little hands to explore, this board book takes readers into the ocean and introduces them to six different inhabitants. Each one possesses an amazing attribute, allowing these pages to introduce young readers to the interesting life found under the water’s surface. The left side of each page spread holds a few lines of a little rhyming quiz, in which the ‘fish’ introduce themselves in a cute guessing-game using their special talent as a clue. Then on the other side of the page, there’s a big flap in the form of seaweed and such, which opens up to reveal the creature as well as another short line of information about them.

This is a colorful book which lets each scene come across with vibrant life. The flaps are sturdy, ensuring more than a few read-throughs of fun. The creatures and the sea world invite with enough details to offer readers time to gaze at each one. The text flows very well and fits the age group nicely. While the youngest listeners won’t always grasp everything, various facts will catch their attention and stick…and the older end of the intended age group won’t feel ‘babied’ since the information still slides enough into their direction as well.

It’s a cute and fun way to introduce the youngest readers to a few fun facts about sea life.
