The sequel to the bestselling "Rumble in the Jungle" is a delightful new collection of poems about creatures who live in and around the ocean. Full color.
Reviews
PreS-Gr 2-A mediocre collection of rhymes featuring different ocean animals. "The crab likes walking sideways/And I think the reason why,/Is to make himself look sneaky/And pretend that he's a spy." Although the poems are short, the vocabulary will occasionally be difficult for beginning readers. The opening and closing poems state that the book explores animals that live "beneath the sea," and yet polar bears and penguins are included. The brightly colored cartoon art is playful, but uninspired. Stick with Douglas Florian's In the Swim (Harcourt, 1997) for more creative writing and clever watercolor illustrations.-Robin L.

Brought this for my daughters friend for his birthday. We already have this book and my daughters really enjoy it. Lots of bright colour pictures and lots of rhyming. Kids love
The illustrations are delightfully colourful and funny; and complement the superb, witty rhyming text. I thoroughly recommend this book for children, particularly for ages 2-7yrs. I have found that the 6-7yr olds can, with some help, read this themselves, while the younger ones enjoy having it read aloud! Having previously purchased one other book from this series, I had been asked by my grandchildren if I could get them some of the others, including this one!!!
This is another great book in the series. This book also has the fantastic rhyming text as does There's a Rumble in the Jungle. Both of these books are very easy to read and are actually enjoyable for the reader who, if you are as lucky as me, is asked to read them over and over again!!! Most of the sea creatures in this book are easily recognizable for young children with a few more uncommon ones. A great read.
