PreS-Gr 1—In this stellar counting book, each spread features a vibrant color photograph of a different kind of ocean animal; a paragraph of perfectly composed, informative text and a "Did you know?" side box; and a large numeral (from one to ten) that stands out against the background. It is easy to identify the creatures to be counted as there aren't any confusing distractions. Lawler engages readers by calling attention to details or posing questions: How do you think this shark got its name? Its head is shaped like a hammer." Back matter includes a map "Where the Pictures Were Taken," activities, and more. This beautifully designed book will attract young readers.—Susan E. Murray, formerly at Glendale Public Library, AZ
