I purchased this book several years ago from Books Are Fun! My wife had a friend who was selling off surplus from the company. We went to her house in Vineland. I picked this up for $1.
I read this to Beetle numerous times.
Tonight I encouraged Fritz to select a different book. He likes dictionary/picture books. He finds it amusing for me to have him locate various images on those pages. I told him he needed to select something more "booky". This is what he found on the bookshelf. Given our trip to the aquarium yesterday, I thought it was appropriate.
The book isn't as great as it should be. The rhyming is forced and the story is pretty much nonexistent. It is colorful, however. There is a pair of large plastic eyes that are used on each page (cutouts to accommodate the eyes). A whales, octopus, shark, manta ray, and turtle are all presented.
It was tonight's bedtime story.

I am TOTALLY judging a book by its cover but the rolling googley eyes are AWESOME. Also, I like that it isn't your same old same old color book, it had some depth and a different slant! The story part is okay, but, I think the other stuff is SO FUN!!!

My son likes it a lot, and the colors and stories are interesting. However, the rhymes are a bit awkward, and it can be confusing that the sea creature talking about the color is a different color. This makes it less self-centered and more engaging, at the same time. It's a staple at bed time.

Googly eyes are always fun for children to look at. The color descriptions are accurate and the illustrations are fun. I'm not too crazy about the rhymes though.
