Overview
There are six sea creatures hiding in the book: can you guess who s hiding under the surface? This playful lift-the-flap book takes toddlers on an underwater adventure, introducing them to the wonderfully weird creatures of the ocean and showing how their unique features are what make them amazing. On each spread, a hidden sea creature is described with a lively read-aloud rhyme, while peek-through details give extra clues to the animal s identity. Little hands can lift a satisfying, sturdy flap to reveal who s hiding under the sea. For example: Who carries mama s eggs in his belly? (Lift the flap it s the seahorse!) Who s covered in slime so they don t feel stings? (Peek under it s the clownfish!) The answer is revealed under the flap through a stunning, vibrant illustration of the creature, snug in its environment. Each reveal is paired with a fun fact, encouraging toddlers to learn more. This is a joyful celebration of sea life and of all the unusual features that make each creature unique.
