Customer Reviews

Beautiful pictures and cute!!
My kids love reading this book. When the bigger fish can't get through the hole, the word is "OUCH". My kids love that, and think it's so funny. Beautiful book and cute! I found this book elsewhere for less than $6.

Simple, Colorful
I purchased this book because it was part of the continued reading list for Teach Your Child To Read In 100 Easy Lessons. My daughters like it a lot and my 7y.o. asks if she can read it to her dad and grandparents.

It's a very simple book with few words and bold colors...a great confidence booster, yet doesn't loose a child's interest.

Excellent Resource to Help Teach Comparatives/Superlatives
"Blue Sea" is a delightful book to help the beginner/elementary reader learn simple comparative and superlative adjectives. "Small," "Smaller," "Smallest," and "Big," "Bigger," "Biggest" are mentioned in this 21-page story that averages about 3-4 words per page. The text is large, and the visuals are simple, colorful, and uncluttered.
