"What a fine and beautiful book . . . good for many readings and seeing, and the thrill of exploration and observation. I marveled at every page."
—Sena Jeter Naslund, author of best-selling Ahab's Wife and eight other novels
“In this lovely and whimsical book, kids will practice counting skills while learning about various ocean creatures, ranging from spiky sea urchins to shifty-eyed hammerheads. Amy Foos Kapoor’s vibrant text and Jennifer Ard’s adorable illustrations create a bounty of underwater delights.
