Secret Seahorse

Author: Stella Blackstone
Illustrator: Clare Beaton

Ages: 2 to 5

Secret Seahorse has similar collage artwork to that as Fish Wish which I reviewed recently. Both are simple books aimed at the younger crowd, but the text in Secret Seahorse is written as a rhyming poem. Each page also has a seahorse for the reader to find.

The prose and the artwork are both very playful. More detailed information about coral reefs and its creatures are found on the final pages of the book. If choosing between Secret Seahorse and Fish Wish---I would probably pick Secret Seahorse just because the book works on multiple levels for multiple readings.
