A First Book of the Sea

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Emily Sutton. This oversize collection of more than fifty brief rhyming and free-verse poems about the sea is both observational and interactive: children build sand castles, watch waves, and explore tide pools; boats trawl; divers swim through reefs. Washed with blue hues, the retro watercolor art swells and roils and rolls across spreads, teeming with life and joyful movement. Teachers will appreciate the book's science connections.
