We had to buy a second copy (a hardcover) because our sons loved the first, paperback, version to death. Taught my kids not only the alphabet but the names of all the fish. I is for Indigo Hamlet was one of my son's first sentences! My four-year-old can i.d. all these fish at the San Diego aquarium (and wants us to find the others at another aquarium). Never boring for adults, unlike some alphabet books.

I bought this book because my class is studying oceans. I thought the book might be dull but I needed something and didn't find much else. I had already covered whates, dolphins and sharks. So anyway I read it before bringing the book to school and found it entertaining and amusing. The book is not afraid to be funny. It really lightened up the subject and I can't wait to read it to my students. Thanks Jerry!

I thought this would be a good alpha book for younger students, but it is very wordy. Lots of good info, but too much for little ones. Would be better for 2nd or 3rd grade, but not for alpha. It would be better for science info for things that live under the sea.

I have 2 boys (5 and 6) and they both enjoyed this book very much. My boys love the ocean and this is a great way to re-enforce the alphabet with my youngest who is in pre-k.

The alphabet comes alive in this great book.
My 18-month old has favorite letters that we look for and loves to show me different parts of the fish -- great teaching tool.
This doesn't feel like learning - exploring is more like it!

Do you see a theme here - clearly we encourage our "squidlings" to explore the ocean. They led us in this direction and we willingly follow. Easy to read and explain.
