Toddlers will love the fun flaps that open on each page. Typical bright, colorful Lucy Cousins illustrations of sea creatures. Rhyming text is bouncy and fun to read, but I’m uncertain whether the vocabulary will appeal to this age group, for example, kelp beds, anglerfish. Many more animals are pictured but not mentioned in the text. If I had to choose between this book and “hooray for Fish” by the same author, I would choose the latter. However, toddlers will love to turn the flaps!
