Based on the children’s game, each phrase begins with the rhyme, “I spy with my little eye…” Peer through the circular cutout to see part of a sea creature – the tail of a seahorse, the claw of a crab, the tentacle of an octopus. Not only will the guessing game keep readers enthralled, readers will also count down from seven clown fish to one shark.

Fun! This would be great in toddler or preschool storytime. There is the counting aspect. And how fun with the I Spy part and having them guess what might be next. I think it should work quite well. Though, I'm sorry, but I will have to say "octopi." Can't help that part of the grammarian in me--it just sounds better!!

In a series of pages with a circular cut-out that gives a glimpse of the image on the next page, readers are given hints about what they might see when they turn the page. There are seven different creatures being introduced in the book, which also serves as a counting book since readers are encouraged to count the number of seahorses, octopuses, and swordfish on the various pages. The digital illustrations are vivid and appealing to the eye, and the twist at the end of the book is rather cool....more
An I spy book that gives readers 2 clues and a small hole-sized view to guess what ocean animal is on the next page. The answer appears in a full color 2 page spread. Ocean animals covered include: clownfish, sea horses, crabs, swordfish, octopus, dolphins, and sharks. Great read aloud.
The only thing that's a little strange about this book is that the ocean animals count down from 7. It's a weird number to start with and it seems like the author wanted text/illustrations to serve 2 purposes but...more

This is a fun book to introduce to students about different animals in the Sea. It provides content support for animal diversity, and you can also go further into learning about different animals habitat. This picture book is a great content book for younger ages to enjoy and interact with the book.

This book is so great because not only does it teach children different sea animals, but it also asks them to participate by counting them! It includes a little spy hole where you can get a sneak peak before opening the page to see the full picture, so this would also be a great tool for prediction and critical thinking!
Love this one! It's the follow up to I Spy With My Little Eye which was a huge hit when I read it at story time. Can't wait to share this one with the kids:)
I think I like this one better than the first one, I SPY WITH MY LITTLE EYE. It's the same fun peek-and-guess format, but this time, all underwater.
Hannah, read it in storytime! A recommended read-aloud for toddlers and PreK.

This is gonna be GREAT in my fish/sea creatures storytime! I spy, plus counting! The clues are simple enough that lots of young kids will identify the animal (except maybe the clown fish. That will always be Nemo).
A grammatical error in this book just wrecked it for me. More then 1 octopus = Octopii, not octopuses. Yeah yeah I know no big deal... but its a book! This should not have slipped through the editorial cracks.
Fun cut out hole in the middle and very sturdy so it would be a good boardbook. Nice addition to the " I spy" game. The animals are more specific sea creatures, so good for building vocab.
Just as good as the first one! These books are ALWAYS a huge hit with kids of all ages and are perfect for storytime. Love the ending, especially. Just the right amount of scary.
I loved this book's wonderful illustrations of sea creatures, which are always a favorite of mine, but was thrown off by the author only including 7. Why not 10?
I adore this series. This one teaches numbers and parts of animals unlike some of the others that teach color.
Look through the spy holes and count the sea creatures in this underwater take on the classic game"--P. 4 of cover.
Wow!! Ocean, animals, counting, and guessing all in the same book?! This is a cute book all around. Fantastic!
This is a great "I Spy" book and would work well in an ocean or counting themed story time for preschool.
Luke loved looking through the holes to see what kind of sea creature was hiding on the next page.
Fun counting book with an I-Spy element to it. Great for storytimes!
Cute counting book with fun predictions of ocean animals.
LOVE IT! Just as wonderful as the first I Spy by Gibbs.
A fun guessing game for young readers, with viewing holes.
numbers, oceans, guessing
Simple, colorful fun.
