Celebrate the magnificent world of marine life in this bilingual counting book featuring popular ocean creatures—including dolphins, sea stars, and turtles—and an irresistibly rhythmic text with Spanish language woven throughout.

What sea creatures could there be? Ven a ver, come and see! Tortugas glide and dolphins leap. What other friends hide in the deep? Diving into a vibrant underwater world, this bilingual picture book uses ocean animals to introduce readers to the concepts of counting and sequencing. The story builds to ten and then back down to one as it reinforces introductory counting. This English/Spanish offering is an interactive celebration of ocean life for young children.

El extraordinario mundo de la vida marina es celebrado en este libro bilingüe que enseña a contar utilizando populares criaturas del océano—como son los delfines, las estrellas de mar y las tortugas—en un texto de ritmo pegadizo y un español entretejido de forma natural.

¿Qué criaturas marinas habrá? ¡Ven a ver! Las tortugas se deslizan y los delfines saltan. ¿Y qué otros amigos se esconden en lo hondo? Sumergiéndonos en un vibrante mundo submarino, este libro ilustrado bilingüe presenta los conceptos de conteo y secuencia empleando animales del océano. La historia avanza hasta llegar al diez para luego regresar al uno, así reforzando los fundamentos del conteo. Esta obra en inglés y español es una celebración interactiva de la vida oceánica diseñada para pequeños lectores.
