This is a classic 'keep it on the low shelf' book. It’s a 1987 National Geographic gem that holds up because Jerry Pinkney’s illustrations are timeless and don't feel dated like old animation does.

It’s short, tactile, and perfect for that phase where kids are obsessed with anything that has too many legs or glowing teeth. It’s a great 'analog' break from flashy ocean apps. Just be ready to tape a pull-tab back together if your toddler gets a little too enthusiastic with the 'wiggle and swim' features.
