Sea Horse: The Shyest Fish in the Sea: Read and Wonder

Gentle ocean wonder for curious young nature-lovers

This is a lovely pick for a child who enjoys animals and quiet discoveries. The sea horse already feels magical, and the book leans into that with vivid details and beautiful imagery that make early science feel warm and exciting. Readers will likely come away fascinated by how unusual and tender these tiny creatures are, especially their color-changing and the father's pouch.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"Stunning pictures and engaging words... An accomplished entrée to early science topics." — BOOKLIST (starred review). Dive into the warm ocean and swim around amid the coral and waving sea grass. Do you see an eye like a small black bead peering out at you? Linger for a while and discover the secrets of the sea horse - one of the shyest fish in the sea. With a head like a horse, a tail like a monkey, and a pouch like a kangaroo, the sea horse acts like a chameleon, changing color to ward off danger or to show that he and his mate are a lifelong pair. Watch their fascinating mating dance, as the two of them twine their tails together and twirl, before she places her eggs in his pouch to be born. Could there be a more intriguing creature of the sea? Back matter includes an index, and a note about sea horses.
