Wonderful little creatures

For people who like: colorful and educational children's books

In five words: seahorses - colorful - pictures - hidden - nonfiction

Positive points: This nonfiction book is the perfect introduction for children to sea life in general and seahorses in particular. Younger children will marvel at the beautiful and colorful mixed-media illustrations while they're in search for the seahorses on each page in the nicely created seek-and-find game. And for those who want to know more about these wonderful creatures, there's also some very interesting textual info included on the last pages. That's why this book will enchant young and old.

Negative points: Although it is mentioned in the book that seahorses are closely related to pipefishes, pipehorses and seadragons, it would've been interesting if these species were compared to each other. That way children (and adults alike) would learn more about all these lesser known animals.

Rating: 4,5* rounded down because it would've been interesting to include even more info about seahorses
