Toddler-PreS McDonald describes a variety of marine creatures, inviting young children to "dive in and take a look!" She devotes a spread each to whales, dolphins, sharks, an octopus, sea horses, crabs and lobsters, sea turtles, and jellyfish, offering a sentence or two about each species and a fun fact as a footnote. For example, after counting an octopus's eight arms, readers are told that "an octopus also has three hearts, blue blood, nine brains, and no bones!" With lively cartoon watercolors throughout, this inviting introduction to ocean life provides basic information for young nature lovers.
