A set of very short verses about ocean creatures with lovely woodcut and watercolor illustrations. Great language.

Simple, fun poems combined with bold, sweeping illustrations make this a treasured poetry collection for any elementary classroom.

My favorite poem:

The Puffer Fish

A trickster.
A clown.
A magician.
A buffoon.
One minute
she's a fish;
the next,
she's a balloon.

Wow! I loved this one. And I loved the simplicity of some of the poems. Also loved the page where the sea life was listed and just one word -

The Sardine
Tiny.

The Urchin
Spiny.

The Mackerel
Shiny.

The Shrimp
Briny.
