Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“[An] entertaining grouping of concrete poems. . . . Rendered in vibrant blues and oranges, Wertz’s bold, graphic compositions playfully call to mind posters one might see at a seaside festival.”—Publishers Weekly
Booklist
“This exploration of marine animals around a coral reef is a clever blend of eye-catching pictorials and jaunty, concrete poems. . . . [T]his book’s playful design will likely make a splash among young readers.”—Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“At once light, visually playful, and educational, Franco and Wertz’s latest collaboration proves the third time’s a charm.”—Kirkus Reviews
School Library Journal
“A dazzling compilation of concrete poetry that highlights marine life, this book lives up to its title. . . . A great addition.”—School Library Journal
