Reviews

All aboard the ocean train in this unique fold out board book. Peel back the tab to reveal an almost two and half foot ocean train that resembles a submarine. Each train car has different colors and numbers. Each number features a sentence that describes the corresponding sea animals in the underwater scene above. Number one a yellow train car describes a lion fish swimming alone. Number two shows two seahorses finding their home. Above number three swims three yellow and black idol fish. Four baby sea turtles are above the number four. There are five spiny lobsters, six white tip reef sharks, seven eagle rays swim with power, eight sea anemones, nine zebrasomas, and ten bright corals. The illustrations are colorful and engaging along with the format of the book. Children will love to open the whole book to see the train and the undersea world. A great counting connection as well. Great for a toddler at home or in a preschool classroom. * Children's Literature *
