10 sea otters are as long as . . . 9 yellowfin tuna, which are as long as . . . 8 California sea lions, which are as long as . . . Have you ever wondered how long a whale is? What about a shark? Or a dolphin? Alison Limentani s extraordinary and original picture book introduces children to a fascinating world of numbers, length, and underwater wildlife.”
This book hits all the bases with my pre-schooler. It's an animals book, it's a counting book, it's an ocean book. It's a fun and quick read, but it's also very informative. It is non-fiction in a very approachable way. The illustrations are simple and cute. We especially love the giant whale fold-out pages and the human diver silhouette on each page for reference!
