Underwater fathers and family care

Mr. Seahorse carries the eggs on his belly and swims through the water as they develop, meeting other fathers tending to their young. The story pairs this portrait of parental care with an introduction to aquatic life. Acetate overlays create a hide-and-seek element, letting young readers look through the pages at parts of the underwater world concealed beneath them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in sea life and ocean settings
  • Young readers exploring stories about parents and caring for young
  • Families seeking a picture book with interactive peek-through pages

Book overview

Astonishingly beautiful collage illustrations and a story that introduces the wonders of aquatic life . . . and some very special daddies. A "hide and seek" feature with acetate overlays adds a colorful surprise to this Eric Carle classic.

When Mrs. Seahorse lays her eggs, she does it on Mr. Seahorse's belly! While he swims waiting for the eggs to hatch, he meets some other underwater fathers caring for their babies. Clear "peek-a-boo" pages offer an ocean of fun opportunities for young readers to feel like they're under the sea!
