Hello Ocean

Summary: My 32-month-old loves it
Review: I received my copy when I purchased the Mother Goose preschool curriculum to homeschool my daughter. This book has quickly become her new favorite. She remembers the beach vacation we took in the summer and she particularly loves spotting the seagulls, having seen Finding Nemo recently. As the one who reads it to her every night, I like that it has few words on each page and gorgeous, realistic illustrations. It should definitely hold the beach-loving youngster's attention. I highly recommend it.

Review: My four year old daughter just got the english/spanish copy and it's her favorite book. The illustrations are amazing. Mr. Astrella is a rare talent. His work comes alive and brings you to the beach. G.R. Dubois Raleigh,NC.

Review: My two year old son LOVES this book! I bought this book for him while on vacation at the shore. I also purchased some shells, sand dollars and starfish at a gift shop. He loves the rhymes and the pictures. He enjoys putting his shells and other items on the pictures that match. A wonderful book! I highly recommend it!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book is not only wonderfully illustrated, but wonderfully written as well. It is a great way to reinforce a trip to the beach and to remind kids of what a wonderful time they had there. My 4-year old absolutely loves it!

Summary: Beautiful illustrations and beautiful writing
Review: This book uses the five senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) to wonderfullly describe the ocean. Not only is it beautifully written, but the illustrations are amazing - making you feel as if you're standing on the beach yourself. My 2 1/2 year old loves this book and asks me to read it to him over and over again. After borrowing this book from the library, we've decided to purchase our own copy.

Review: This is the book (among others) I always give away at 1 and 2 year old birthday parties. I also gave it to my 4.5 year old nephew (who is developmentally delayed - he does not speak) and it turned out to be his favorite among the ones I gave him. My 2 year memorized the words and used to ask for it every night before bed. The illustrations are so realistic and beautiful. The pictures look like painted photographs and capture the beauty of a day at the beach. It's like visiting the ocean every time you open it. Whenever I am at the bookstore, I take it off the shelf and leave it out on display so people can see it. That is how I found it.
