A First Book of the Sea
A beautifully produced anthology of poems about the sea, from award-winning bookmakers – the perfect companion to A First Book of Nature.
From Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton, the multi-award-winning team behind Tiny and Lots comes a spellbinding collection of poems about the oceans of the world and their shores. With this book, children can swim alongside dolphins and flying fish, pore over rockpools, and sail from pole to pole and back, learning about everything from phosphorescence and plankton to manta rays and puffins – all in the comfort of their bedroom. Emily Sutton’s exquisite watercolors capture the breathless excitement of a child’s first glimpse of the sea, the majesty of ancient trading ships, and the sheer, staggering wonder of the humpback whale. The perfect companion to international bestsellers A First Book of Nature and A First Book of Animals, this book is sure to enthrall and inspire readers of all ages. “Spectacular … you can almost smell the surf between the pages.” The Times “Five stars – if you take only one picture book away this summer, make it this.”
