Neptune's Nursery

Play ocean hide-and-seek with an extraordinary aquatic creature! In this companion to the acclaimed one less fish (see page 45), readers try to guess the identity of one particular creature with an unusual birth. Double-page illustrations and text gradually reveal information about the animal. Alternating with these "clue" pages are brief verses and stunning illustrations of ten animals that are not the elusive creature. When the mystery is finally revealed, readers can turn back to each of the double-page paintings and find the animal, cleverly concealed in the art. From the dolphin to the great white shark to the blue-ringed octopus to the nautilus, the variety and beauty of oceanic wildlife will amaze young readers. Information about each animal as well as a glossary of unfamiliar terms appear at the back of the book.
