Age range 3 to 7

This joyful and soothing book about ocean sounds for kids 3-7 will transport readers to the seaside.

When a child visits the ocean with his little brother, he whispers to him, "The ocean has lots to say, if you listen." Together, they hear wondrous things, like the rumble of pebbles tumbling and filling the beach with shiny gems, the bark of a seal playing peekaboo, and the whooshing of a shell murmuring messages.

The second book in the Sounds of Nature series for young children, I Hear You, Ocean is an excellent resource for outdoor education and social-emotional learning, helping to teach:

  • How to engage with nature in fun and respectful ways
  • Mindfulness and empathy with the world around us
  • Positive and gentle play with younger siblings
  • The ocean makes magical sounds - you just have to listen!
