On a coral reef in the big blue sea, count the ocean creatures 1, 2, 3.
Count from one giant whale shark all the way to twelve tired seahorses, meeting and learning about plenty of playful Australian sea creatures along the way. With vibrant artwork, simple facts about each creature and a gentle conservation message, Fran Lessacs Australia Under the Sea 1, 2, 3 is a celebration of twelve fish and friends living in our seas.
This book is a wonderful introduction not only to counting from 1 to 12, but to the unique marine life that lives in a coral reef. Teachers will be able to use this when looking at the ocean, and it is particularly useful if children are interested in the Great Barrier Reef and conservation. * ReadPlus *
