Synopsis

Sneaking an early grammar lesson into a book about animals, Under the Sea offers up a fun, foundational introduction to both sea life and pairs of directional words. Simple, rhythmical text introduces creatures and their surroundings by placing them in relative positions to each other. Detailed illustrations, meanwhile, provide a colorful backdrop of the developing ocean scene. Set within a durable board book format, this is a title all young readers will get behind!

Reviews

Toddler-PreS—Scenes of aquatic life are paired with a lesson on simple prepositions. "Clownfish wiggles out of an anemone" is followed by "Octopus waits in a dark den." (The words out and in are capitalized and in a bolder font than the rest of the text.) Leonard's full-spread illustrations, done in acrylic, are detailed and realistically capture each creature performing the act stated in the text.
