Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- This rhyming counting book about the sea is too dense to use as an introduction to numbers, and at times seems to get caught up in its own tongue-twisting technique. There's no game involved--such as finding a number of objects or watching the numerals bend or become something else. The point is to square the number: ``8 `octos' on the ocean floor/ Have scrambled legs, 64.'' The full-color illustrations are realistic , but they don't add much feeling of animation or movement. Older children may find the math presentation a nice change of pace, but as a picture book, this is a bit ambitious. --Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, Buffalo, NY

Nifty nimble numbers,
By Jennifer Gardner (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sea Squares (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (School & Library Binding)
Joy Hulme's Sea Squares is a fun rhyming romp that illustrates the concept of squaring numbers. The rhyme has a definite rythem to it and the illustrations are superb. The borders on each page hint and what the reader will find when the page is turned. The gorgeous use of color in these seascapes delights the eye. I won't buy a children's book unless the illustrations are at least as good as the text. My children love the book and didn't even realize it was a "math" book. I highly recommend adding it to your collection.

Sea Squares is Great!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sea Squares (Paperback)
I like this book because it tells you how to times, 1 x 1 = 1, 10 x 10 = 100, like that. I also like this book because it goes from 1 to 10 and shows you sea life. And sometimes on the right side margin of the page you see part of what animal comes next. When you see a white tale, you know the next page is a whale, and if you see wings, you know the next page is a seagull.
Henry, age 7
