Overview / 简介: |
The curiosities of the sea come to life in this playful romp at the beach. Flash is a visitor to our world who is learning about the creatures of the ocean, but he has some big questions. Can you wish on a starfish? And saddle a sea horse? Flash’s computer shows him pictures to explain the possibilities, but something about them is a bit fishy. So his new friend Jack offers to help, and happily paints a clear picture of each confusing creature for Flash in his trusty notebook. Funny rhymes and even sillier illustrations make this a perfect read for families all year long!

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2—While Jack is painting at the beach, a spaceship lands nearby. A friendly alien emerges and asks the boy to clarify the vocabulary used to describe the undersea world. For example, Flash asks, "COW in the sea./COW in the field./Does a sea cow say moo/And eat grass for its meal?" Jack explains that a sea cow "chirps and…clicks/And whistles instead/And grazes on sea plants/In shallow sea beds." Flash is also curious about a slew of other words used above and below sea level, including "school," "horse," and "star." Comical collages of a cow with scuba gear, fish with clown hair, and oysters tucked into a cozy bed will make readers giggle at these seemingly familiar words. Jack further clarifies the terms with his more accurate watercolor paintings of underwater creatures, describing their habits and habitat in singsong verse. Like the exuberant alien, curious kids will get a fun and informative introduction to ocean life. This accessible tale will provide an excellent foundation for preschool ocean-themed units while generating discussion and creative wordplay in early elementary classes.—Jayne Damron, Farmington Community Library, MI
