Response/Rating (1-4): 4, A bright colorful alphabet book that combines rhyme and letter-sound association in a wonderful “under the sea” format, this book will surely delight the youngest student. Each letter of the alphabet is associated with a sea mammal, fish or plant species and the book’s endnotes include detailed definitions providing children additional opportunities to learn more about ocean life. The colorful illustrations use a textured collage format that adds an appealing three-dimensional effect to the artwork.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever been to an ocean, lake or aquarium? Can you name a type of fish or mammal that lives in the sea?
