Illustrated by
Nicole Fazio.
The rhymed text, to the tune of "Over in the Meadow," counts Maine's sea and bird life from one to ten: "Down East in the ocean," one baby seal, three ospreys, four crabs, eight clams, and ten lobsters swim, fly, crawl, squirt, and hide, respectively. Illustrations are appropriately framed with ocean-life motifs. The package, though slight, has regional appeal.
