Selected and written by Jane Collins-Philipee and illustrated by Laura Beingesser. To be published March 9, 2010 by Tundra Books.
I've had the privilege of getting a copy of this book from Tundra to read and review, and it's a wondrous book. It's meant for ages 3-6, but I sure enjoyed reading the poems and admiring the folksy illustrations and fun colors used to make the poems come to life.
Some are nursery rhymes, some are brand new poems, but all have to do with the sea. Some will make you laugh out loud!
My favorite is a new one about a ship that has a hippo for a captain and other animals for the rest of his crew.
This is an easy reader that will be read again and again.
If your child is not into poetry, this might open the door to that genre for them.
I can easily recommend this book to parents or grandparents or to anyone who loves kids!
