Description

Do you know how saltwater families live? What would it be like to grow up with a tail and fins? We expect to see fish living in water, but what about mammals like polar bears, walruses, and whales, or birds such as penguins, or reptiles like sea turtles? They spend most of their lives in the water, too. How would it feel to be born, to grow, to play and explore the way these ocean-dwelling animals do? Here's your chance to find out. Jump in and learn the saltwater secrets of growing up in the sea

Description

'You start your life in an egg the size of a grain of rice' (giant octopus). 'Your Dad is such a good parent that he carries a hundred more eggs stuck like glue on the underside of his tail' (leafy dragon-fish). This marvelous full-color picture book artfully employs second-person narrative and close-up paintings to impart fascinating facts about the family lives of 14 undersea creatures.
