Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

There are six sea creatures hiding in the book: can you guess who's hiding under the surface? This playful lift-the-flap book takes toddlers on an underwater adventure, introducing them to the wonderfully weird creatures of the ocean and showing how their unique features make them amazing.

On each spread, a hidden sea creature is described with a lively read-aloud rhyme, while peek-through details give extra clues to the animal's identity. Little hands can lift a satisfying, sturdy flap to reveal who's hiding under the sea.

For example: Who carries mama's eggs in his belly? (Lift the flapβ€”it’s the seahorse!) Who’s covered in slime so they don’t feel stings? (Peek underβ€”it’s the clownfish!) The answer is revealed under the flap through a stunning, vibrant illustration of the creature, snug in its environment.

Each reveal is paired with a fun fact, encouraging toddlers to learn more. This is a joyful celebration of sea life and of all the unusual features that make each creature unique.
