Where counting meets coral reefs--and learning comes alive.
Submerge young readers in the colorful world of marine life with Over in the Ocean. This interactive picture book brings early math, science, and language together in a joyful, rhythmic format that kids love--and teachers trust.
Set to the familiar tune of "Over in the Meadow," each verse introduces a new baby ocean animal--from puffing pufferfish to fluttering seahorses--with playful actions kids can mimic. Jeanette Canyon's breathtaking polymer clay illustrations add rich texture and seek-and-find excitement to every page.
Why readers return to this ocean adventure:
- Sing, count, and learn with rhyming verses that support early math and literacy skills
- Discover the coral reef through scientifically accurate animal behaviors and vivid artwork
- Engage through play with interactive movements and hidden animals to spot on every page
- Extend the experience with backmatter full of ocean facts and ideas for classroom or home learning
Ideal for preschool through Grade 2, this book is a favorite for ocean units, science centers, story time shelves, and nature-loving families. It's part of Marianne Berkes's acclaimed "Our World, Our Home" series--celebrated for sparking curiosity, encouraging empathy for wildlife, and aligning beautifully with STEM education goals.
