A perfect bedtime book

This is a lovely picture book that will soothe, calm, and enchant young children. It has simple, poetic language that builds rhythmically page after page and evokes the sounds of the seashore, while the lush artwork captures the sights of the ocean and beach with beautiful detail and some fun visual surprises.

This book is a must for nature lovers of all ages!

This is a stunning tribute to the sea and the life in and around it. My 4-year-old and I have enjoyed reading it many times over, and I know we will continue to do so. Stephanie St. Pierre uses accessible,lyrical language to convey the mystery, power, and beauty of the ocean world. The artwork by Beverly Doyle is richly detailed and colored. All in all, this is a lovingly created book. I also appreciated the informative section in the back, which enhances a child's understanding of the subject matter and encourages conservation.
