The Ocean Is...

(4) K-3 Photographs by Norbert Wu. Dolphins "dance and leap above / Their watery arena, / Performing like a graceful pair / Of long-nosed ballerinas." This rhyming text and dazzling close-up color photos of sea creatures isn't intended as a marine-life resource. The occasionally stilted rhymes, offset by fish's-eye views of sharks, coral, and other sea life, will probably succeed in sparking interest in the subject.
