Description
The coral reef in this book is like a marine nursery, teeming with mamas and babies! In the age-old way of kids and fish, children will count and clap to the rhythm of "Over in the Meadow" while pufferfish "puff", gruntfish "grunt" and seahorses "flutter". The colorful art is fresh and fun-constructed entirely from polymer clay-and invites young fingers to fashion fishy forms.
