From the smallest tiger tail sea horse to the giant humpback whale, this aquatic menagerie will captivate readers of all ages as they count up to ten and back down again.

Another ingenious and gorgeous book from a Caldecott winner., Nov 29 2008
By Hope N. Concern "HNC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gone Fishing (Hardcover)
The illustrator David McLimans once more celebrates the intriguing beauty of our vanishing natural world with his sophisticated drawings. This is a book that attracts both adults and children, and its mournful thesis of the oceans' demise is put to constructive use with a respectful look at the miracles of sea life and the need to counteract the harmful habits of humans. Breathtaking in every way.
