The author, Giles Andreae, is the narrator. He uses both direct and indirect characterization in the form of short, rhyming stanzas to chronicle the characters. The sea creatures in the book range from a tiny barnacle to a massive blue whale. We filled the water table with icebergs (water I had frozen in bowls in the freezer) and these realistic looking penguins too. Great language was developing through this imaginative play. To get started with this resource, simply print out the card templates, along with the board. You can then cut out the cards and ask your children to put them in the right spot. For example, they should learn that the shark belongs with the same picture of the shark. This will help them develop their visual recognition skills.

[1] Quotes [ edit ] We made these water blobs from hello, Wonderful blog for the kids to sun on like walruses. We added foam letters to our blob for kids to practice a little letter recognition as they were lounging in the sun. It would have been super cool, but we sprung a lot of leaks and this one didn’t last long. Next time, I will make sure to have a good seal at least 4-6 inches wide. Also, it’s very important this this is done on a flat surface. One of our seams had too much pressure on it which didn’t help with leaking. 4. Fishing Fun The characters in the book are all of the animals that live in the ocean that are described in the book. It describes many of them. Like the shark, it eats other fish. The stingray will sting other creatures with the stinger on its tail. Also the blue whale, the biggest beast on the planet.
