A First Book of the Sea

“Spectacular … you can almost smell the surf between the pages.” — The Times
“Five stars – if you take only one picture book away this summer, make it this.” — The Telegraph

From Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton, the multi award-winning team behind Tiny and Lots, comes a spellbinding collection of poems celebrating the oceans of the world and their shores.

With this beautiful book, children can swim alongside dolphins and flying fish, explore rockpools, and sail from pole to pole—learning about everything from phosphorescence and plankton to manta rays and puffins—all from the comfort of their bedroom. Emily Sutton’s exquisite watercolours bring the wonder of the sea to life, capturing the excitement of a child’s first glimpse of the ocean, the majesty of ancient trading ships, and the awe-inspiring humpback whale.

A perfect companion to the international bestsellers A First Book of Nature and A First Book of Animals, this breathtaking book is sure to enthral and inspire readers of all ages.
