Way Down Deep in the Deep Blue Sea!

Storytime Books:



Illustrated by Valerie Petrone

Summary:  A little boy describes his adventure into the deep blue sea.  He plays peekaboo with a hermit crab, swims with a dolphin, and fences with a swordfish until he eventually discovers a pirate's treasure chest...argh!




Hooray For Fish! by Lucy Cousins

Summary:  Little Fish has all sorts of fishy friends in his underwater home, spotty and stripy, happy and gripy, hairy and scary, even curly-whirly and twisty-twirly, but one of them he loves most of all!






Summary:  When a giant squid takes inventory of all the creatures in the ocean, he realizes that he's way bigger than most of them!  Of course, there are bigger things lurking around...but maybe this giant squid with a giant touch of self-confidence doesn't really care?
