Illustrated by
Valeria Petrone.
In a pleasingly bouncy and repetitive chant, a boy goes looking for deep-sea treasure. First he spies a sea horse. "Hello, sea horse. / Giddy-up, sea horse. / See you later, sea horse. / Swim away." Then he sees a crab, a starfish, and numerous other sea animals. After finding treasure, he surfaces, and the bright, digital illustrations show he's really in his bathtub.
