High Tide

by Kate Davis

You never have to worry about losing this book at the beach... it floats! Kids can pop out the soft, nontoxic foam sea creatures to answer the rhymes about who they are and feel their bumpy textures. "Who crawls on the sea floor / And skitters up to shore?" Is it a slippery fish, a prickly crab, a puckery sea horse, or a ticklish starfish? Kids remove the brightly colored shapes, and then easily press them back in. It's a perfect match for the beach, bath, playground--anywhere at all. Check out Dinos!, Rough Road, Whose Back Is Bumpy?, or any of the other textured titles in this terrific follow-up series to Soft Shapes. (Ages 1 to 4) --Emilie Coulter

This book has everything -- first of all, it's a TOY! It's soft and wonderful to feel and to chew on, and every page breaks apart to make A TOY!! I can wave them around, and eat them, and read them too!

Also, every page has a sea riddle. They really blew my mind. Genius!

I'll be reading this one over and over again for a long time!

I think this series of books is such a great idea. I love how the shapes pop out, I love that this can be a bathtime book, I love the texture, and I love the bright colours and rhyming text. Kids seem to love them, too :)
