Into the A, B, Sea: An Ocean Alphabet

(3) PS Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. Rhyming couplets list a variety of animals that make their home in the sea, "where Anemones sting / and Barnacles cling." The alphabet motif is more subtle here than in most alphabet books, but what steals the show are the beautiful, uncomplicated cut-paper collages, which employ an astonishing array of appropriately textured papers. Notes at the end expand on the animals pictured in the book.
