Publisher's Description of Over in the Ocean: Coral Reef Animal Counting Book
Teachers and parents, take notethis book is already a classic. Two geniusesthe authors and the illustratorscame into perfect alignment to create this book. Mariannes genius has kids thinking its entertainment while adults think its a great lesson about the ocean. Jeanettes genius is, well, obvious. With painstaking detail each illustration is created entirely of polymer clay, then photographed, creating a 3-D impression of tremendous vitality. Kids will sing, clap, and count their way among pufferfish that puff, gruntfish that grunt and seahorses that flutter, and begin to appreciate life in the ocean. And the art will inspire many a project. Plus there are several pages of extension ideas for curriculum and art projects as well as resources on the web and elsewhere.
