Review
'Bath publishers have - rightly - elevated children's illustration to a form of high art, and this is a fine example of a book so mouth-wateringly illustrated your instincts will want to protect it from grubby mitts with shrink wrap. Using fabrics, sequins, buttons, beads and assorted bric-a-bric, ex-BBC artist Clare Beaton has created eye-catchingly fishy collages for this simply rhyming story of an elusive seahorse, with clownfish, octopi and a mermaid, plus a brilliant factual section on coral reefs and their creatures.' --Venue

Hunt the seahorse on every page to encourage interaction with the text and pictures.' --We Are Family
