This collection of twenty-nine jaunty concrete poems about the undersea world explores the varied behaviors of marine life such as the needlefish, spiny puffer, coral reef, and spinner dolphin. The abstract aquatic scenes on blue backgrounds feature bold shapes and lettering in yellow, red, white, and orange. This book would pair nicely with a visit to the aquarium. Reading list, websites.
