What Kind of Book is Off to See the Sea
Reviews
The story starts with a rhyme that trips off the tongue so naturally that it catches you off guard that it’s not a rhyming book. But after you figure that out, you can enjoy the poetic, but not rhyming, style of the story that makes quite an adventure of bath time. The cut paper illustrations are original and terrific.
Gorgeous illustrations, and a fun bathtime adventure showcasing the joy imagination brings to every childhood activity.
