Astonishingly beautiful collage illustrations and a story that introduces the wonders of aquatic life . . . and some very special daddies. A "hide and seek" feature with acetate overlays adds a colorful surprise to this Eric Carle classic. When Mrs. Seahorse lays her eggs, she does it on Mr. Seahorse's belly! While he swims waiting for the eggs to hatch, he meets some other underwater fathers caring for their babies. Clear "peek-a-boo" pages offer an ocean of fun opportunities for young readers to feel like they're under the sea!Review Quotes

Love that they share that some sea animals carry the babies and actually help the process of having the babies. Didn’t know this until the book so actual facts are told

My 5 year old is fascinated by seahorses after seeing them at an aquarium. He was intrigued by the fact that daddy seahorses give birth to babies, and I appreciate that this book shows the roles that other daddy sea creatures play in raising their offspring. It's a fun, colorful, and educational book. The see through pages give it great visual appeal.

Got this book for my son as a replacement to the paperback version that he spilled juice all over. The board books last longer than paperback books for our a rough and busy toddler boy. We love all our Eric Carle books and he especially loves the illusion pages of Mister Seahorse. Will probably buy more from this author.
