(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jeanette Canyon. Modeled on the song "Over in the Meadow," this companion to Over in the Ocean: In a Coral Reef introduces children to rainforests' environment and their animal life. Some of the rhymes are decidedly forced, but the illustrations, created from a variety of colors, textures, and shapes of polymer clay, are eye-catchingly unique. Musical arrangement and information about rainforests are included.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jeanette Canyon. Fresh lyrics using sea life are applied to the children's tune "Over in the Meadow" on these stunningly illustrated pages. From one octopus to ten seahorses the creatures "squirt," "dart," and "flutter" around their parents. The art in the book is made with polymer clay. Tips for using the book with children, information about the marine animals, and music are included.
