Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 2-In a lapping, sealike rhythm, this enchanting counting book lulls its audience into the world beneath the waves. The rhyming text encourages readers to count sea creatures poetically going about their evening activities up to 10 and then back down until "one brand-new seal pup discovers the day." Rose introduces common marine animals, like turtle hatchlings, and others that are less familiar, like silky nudibranchs. At the end, a useful "More about the nighttime sea" section provides further detail about the animals mentioned. Vivid cut-paper collages beautifully interplay with the rhymes. This evocative read-aloud will make a splash with youngsters practicing their counting, learning about sea life, or simply enjoying the book one-on-one before bedtime.
