So cute! So creative! So much fun! This is the "story" (I use the quotation marks as it's pretty sparse on the storyline) of a lonely little seahorse and all the friends it finds in the sea. It's a counting book, too. It would be pretty dull if it weren't for the amazing photograph illustrations (the "story" is really to showcase the artwork) which are all done using vegetables and fruits. Some are not the type you usually see, either, so it's a great way to expose children to new foods (there is an explanation in the back labeling each type). Oh my gosh, it's all just so adorable and winsome, from the banana dolphins to the mushroom crabs ;-) I am not sure I've seen this artist's work before, but I have long been a fan of the cute-creatures-made-from-vegetables themes, as evidenced by the fact that a few of the "Home Grown" critters live in my kitchen: http://www.enescousa.com/index.php?op...
