Clownfish, jellyfish, turtles and whales hide under sturdy flaps in this ocean-themed board book from DK.
The format is built around anticipation: a rhyme sets up the question, the flap comes up, and a pop-up scene answers it. For babies and toddlers that loop supports object permanence, hand control and early naming, and the sea setting gives a wide vocabulary of creatures and habitats to work through together.
For the record:
• Thick board construction designed to survive daily use by small children
• Pop-up marine scenes revealed under each large flap
• Rhyming read-aloud text that invites the child to guess before lifting
• A DK early-learning title, ISBN 9780241536919
Suited to children from birth to around three, and to parents and caregivers building a first library, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
