Review

This vibrantly colorful book for preschoolers is, in fact, a long poem,
with pleasing repetition that will engage youngsters’ attention and
keep them turning the pages. The poem is about three adventurous,
pint-sized sailors who go sailing on seas of various colors that are
full of many different, brilliantly hued marine animals. Repeated
throughout the book is the question: “And what shall we see / In the
sea, we three?” The answer is found on the fold-out section of the
page, making this a very elaborately produced, fun book. Recommended.
