Ocean Soup: Tide-Pool Poems

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Peterson. A barnacle, sea urchin, starfish, mussel, hermit crab, and other tide-pool dwellers introduce readers to their watery habitat--and individual habits--in rhyming first-person poems. The verse is uneven, but the lighthearted approach and colorful, cartoony illustrations will likely make a splash with kids. Brief information about the specific critter follows each poem. Reading list, websites. Glos.
