Bookroo's summary

Dive into the ocean's depths where marine mothers guide their young, from a manatee and her calf to an octopus with her brood. Set to a familiar tune, this rhythmic journey not only teaches counting but also introduces vibrant sea creatures in their natural habitats. With hidden numbers and a musical score, young readers will explore the wonders of the ocean while learning to count from one to ten. What secrets will the ocean reveal as you turn each page?

From the publisher

Set to the traditional tune of “Over in the Meadow”, Somewhere in the Ocean will teach young children much more than how to count from one to ten as they follow ocean-dwelling mothers and their offspring throughout their days.Complete with a glossary, musical score, and numbers hidden in the illustrations, Somewhere in the Ocean introduces readers to an array of marine life – from manatees and sea otters to jellyfish and sea horses – in their natural habitat.Following the success of best-selling Way Out in the Desert this author/illustrator team has once again created a lively counting book.
