See the Wet Set! Alphaprints: Sea Life by Jo Ryan, et al

Alphaprints goes down deep to see who's in the sea!

GREAT WHITE SHARK IS GREATLY FEARED.

HAMMERHEAD SHARK LOOKS VERY WEIRD!

Bud somehow, when Priddy Books does the great white shark's face in blue fingerprint style, he doesn't look so scary. And in this wet-set entry in the Alphaprints series, young readers get to meet some familiar denizens of the deep--the clown fish (a la Nemo)--the dolphin, and crab, and some more unusual ones--the narwal, squid, and moray eel. Also found inside are octopuses, sea lions, lobsters, starfish and stingrays.

All twenty ocean animals are standouts set against bright white board book pages in cheery and reasonably realistic images that will introduce preschoolers to these more well-known forms of sea animals common to aquariums--a good preparation for a summer visit--in Roger Priddy's Alphaprints Sea Life (St. Martin's Press/Priddy Books, 2018), created by Jo Ryan, Ella Boultwood, Penny Worms, and Amy Oliver. With rhyme and rhythm and touchy-feely textures, this sturdy little board book is a treat for visual and tactile experience.
