deadly, others are less so, but all of them are fascinating
creatures. Exciting and detailed illustrations fill the page and
educate young readers about these thrilling residents of the sea.

Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture

during the industrial revolution. One majestic oak has seen it all,
and now we can too. Accompanying pages at the end of the book
include a timeline of events in world history across the periods
featured in the poem, the life cycle of an oak tree, and prompts to
help parents and children explore their own local history.
