Product Description

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

'This rhyming, hide-and-seek adventure explores the enchanting world of the coral reef. Following an elusive seahorse as he swims through different watery environments, the book introduces children to wonderful sea creatures.' --Junior Education

'Explore the underwater world of the coral reef in this rhyming, hide and seek adventure. Follow the elusive seahorse through the different watery environments meeting a variety of sea life from anemones to swordfish as he swims. Illustrated using handcrafted felt, sequins and buttons and with five pages of educational information, this enchanting book is ideal for children with a fascination for the mysterious environment that exists under the sea. Hunt the seahorse on every page to encourage interaction with the text and pictures.' --We Are Family

Product Description
The watery world of the coral reef is explored in this hide-and-seek adventure from best-selling duo Stella Blackstone and Clare Beaton. Follow an elusive seahorse as he swims through different underwater environments, meeting a colourful kaleidoscope of sea creatures - including sea anemones, crabs, starfish, eels and octopuses - along the way. Containing five pages of educational information, including facts about the coral reef, sea creatures and the lifecycle of seahorses, while introducing children to underwater vocabulary, Secret Seahorse is an ideal present for children who are fascinated by the mysterious landscape that exists under the sea. The hide-and-seek theme featured throughout invites the reader to hunt the seahorse on every page, encouraging interaction with the text and illustrations to ensure this book will become a well-thumbed favourite.

4.0 out of 5 stars unusual, attractive book, 21 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: Secret Seahorse (Board book)
This book has very attractive illustrations which are a mixture of embroidery and fabric collage using beads, sequins, etc. It's something a bit different from the usual children's illustrations - it would make a lovely present. The rhyming text is about searching under the sea for a seahorse, so the pictures have various underwater scenes including a lovely one with a mermaid. Like all the other Barefoot books I have seen, this is a lovely book to share with a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super `hide-and-seek' type book, 17 Jan 2008
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
from Stella Blackstone.

32 high quality shiny pages with endearing `collage-type' illustrations, from Clare Beaton, making it not too easy to spot the seahorse and where he is hiding on the relevant 2-page spreads!
This super book is further enhanced by basic general knowledge pages about `Coral Reefs', `Creatures of the Coral Reef' and `Secrets of Seahorses', at the back.

'Can you see the seahorse as he swims through the mysterious world of the coral reef?
You will meet all kinds of colourful sea creatures and learn lots of fascinating facts about them as you follow this easy-to-read rhyming adventure.'

Example of text:-
I saw a secret seahorse deep down in the sea.
I tried to swim beside him. He was too quick for me.
He swam past reefs of coral, with colours flower bright.
He swam past flickering fishes, then disappeared from sight....'

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pictures, shame about the text, 15 April 2009
I'd give this book 5 stars for the wonderful Clare Beaton illustrations alone, but the text lets it down. It's very clunky and extremely hard to read aloud. It's intended as a simple verse, but doesn't scan well and it has a lot of awkward conjunctions that make it a bit of a chore to read aloud to a small child. We just look for all the fishes and sea creatures. I love the creative use of fabrics and haberdashery, as always with CB's illustrations.
