Inside the book

A peek between the covers

Huge blue whale with swiftest motion, travels far in every ocean. Great white shark gives toothy grin to lure the little fishes in.
Dainty seahorse, small and frail, holds onto coral with its tail. Cunning octopus in disguise, blends with backgrounds, to surprise.
Flying fish can leap and glide, above the sea, with fins stretched wide. Sea snail has a pretty shell, which is its home and guards it well.

“Love the illustrations in this one and it has decent cadence—I found myself wishing it was a board book instead of a picture book though.”
