Baby Animals: In the Sea
Kingfisher. Kingfisher, $5.99 (14p) ISBN 978-0-7534-6689-6
Children get an intimate look at young members of seven aquatic species in the latest addition to this photo-driven board book series. Photographs of baby dolphins, otters, sea horses fill one half of each spread, appearing opposite lively and informative narration from each creature. “I have eight long arms,” says the octopus. “If I lose one, it grows back! I whiz through the sea and squish into tiny spaces.” Playful typography and other minor embellishments add to the fun, though it will likely be the crisp, close-up photos that draw the most attention. Also available: At the Zoo. Up to age 4. (Mar.)
