Illustrated by
Kenneth J. Spengler.
Based on the song "Over in the Meadow," this takeoff follows the doings of various sea creatures and their offspring, from one manatee to ten octopuses. With one exception, the light verses move buoyantly along; the bold gouache illustrations show smiling marine animals. Musical score and descriptive endnotes about the animals and areas featured are appended.
