"A Swim Through the Sea" is a well-written book about various forms of marine life (A-Z), and the illustrations are lovely. One thing that I really love about this book are the many "layers" to each page/letter of the alphabet. First, there is a letter. Then, there is a sentence (using alliterative qualities to help drive the sound of that particular letter home) naming each particular creature. There is a longer description about the creature, in smaller print, beneath that sentence. Finally, all around the border of the page, there are small illustrations and names of other sea creatures that begin with the same letter. You can make this book as long or short of a read as you'd like, and tailor it to the age of the child you are reading it to.

ABC Book for Littles, Educational Text for Big Kids
I cannot praise this book enough. It is listed as additional reading material in my daughter's first grade homeschool curriculum, so I decided borrowed a copy from my library. I was blown away by the content and illustrations. I can't believe it was written and illustrated by a teenager. After reading it with my daughter, I immediately purchased a used library copy here on Amazon. I highly recommend it as an ABC picture book for young children and an educational text for older children.

Very disappointed in this book. One comment I read said it was “dark”. That’s true, the colors on each page are so dark it is difficult to see most of the fish being described. Not something I want to give to my 2-year old granddaughter.
