This book is about under the sea, children can investigate and explore the animals under the sea, what they look like and how they live under the sea. This book is and illustrated by Margaret Mayo & Alex Ayliffe. This book can be used by children to understand that there are animals that live under the sea. This supports children’s communication and language as children can say and express their view on sea animals. Children’s Personal, Social, and emotional development and their physical development can be expanded and explored. This can be useful as children with low attainment may be able to recognise the animal from the picture. Children with middle attainment may be able to recognise and say the name of the animal from under the sea and children with higher attainment may be able to recognise, name and tell the class or a peer, what the sea creature eats or how they move.
