Commotion In The Ocean

I spent months reading The Lion Who Wanted To Love by these authors and my LO loved it. I however was getting bored so thought let's try this. Well I wasn't disappointed. The colours and pictures are big, bright and bold and is just great to look at. The wee poems that go along with them are nice and easy to read and I find myself getting into a wee rhythm when reading it to my LO. Highly recommend it to anyone and I have bought a copy to give to a family members LO as well. I feel exactly the same way towards the other book we bought from them Dinosaurs Galore!. Just what you want in a toddlers book.

This book is an established favourite. Good to get a new copy at a great price and quickly.

This book contains rhymes featuring an angel fish, octopus, whale, penguins and lastly a shark. Each page pops up in bright colours and is fun to look at. The whale's tail moves as the book opens and closes, and the penguins dive into the water. My two year old loves opening and closing the book to see them move. His favourite is definitely the shark which opens its jaws wide as you open the page, it is a favourite game of my two boys to dare each other to put their faces into the shark's mouth (which has led to some damage to the shark in our book!). My personal favourite is the octopus which is using its eight arms to tickle its children on the tummy... a great excuse to tickle my own! Each page also has three starfish hidden around the page and under flaps which the little one loves to find. Highly recommended.

Great book and great price

Contrary to some other reviews, I thought that this book was interesting, and amusing. However, I noticed that the crab has only eight arms instead of ten. Children would not notice this, but as an ex biology teacher I did. The rhymes are very good, and not too long. I have not yet decided whether to give the book as a present, but I think that I can use it in school. Austria is landlocked, and I think that the pupils need to know about the fantastic range of life in the seas. The 10 and 11 year olds can easily learn a few lines to perform, and illustrate the animals themselves. Small books are ideal for reading with one’s own children, but with a Class of up to 17 pupils the larger books are much better. I might even buy more from the same authors.

My 3 year old grandson is currently obsessed with sea creatures and this book, with its illustrations and rhythms, is such a joy to read together.

Lovely story that not only shows children what the animals look like, but informs them of their charateristics and habitats, in a fun and simple way. We have used plasitc sea animals (which you can buy off Amazon - pack of 12 sea creatures- contains some of the animals from the book) we match them to the book, and having read about them, the children go off and act out what they have learnt - i.e. "dont shake hands with a lobster!"

Love using this book for baby rhyme time in the library, really colourful images and rhyme text in a good sized book. Great edition to any collection. Suitable for preschool ages.

This book quickly became a household favorite and the first book we buy for other kids! It is fun and educational.

kids love this book and the series as well

Ilustraciones muy bonitas y vistosas. El colorido es súper llamativo para los niños.El tamaño del libro muy bueno, no es nada pequeño.Como en los libros de este tipo, los textos riman ligeramente y eso ayuda al niño.Edad recomendada 6 años.

Preso per un bimbo di 20 mesi...a lui piace molto ma soprattutto piace a me, colori bellissimi! Abbiamo anche Rumble in the jungle, bellissimo

Lovely book. Great quality.
