This is fun enough but man do I have to really editorialize how differently we treat animals at the aquarium now. That orca show is awful! (Note to all: do not support animal shows like that.) It is a good opportunity to discuss with my daughter how things in the past were different than they are now, and we learn to do better over time.

This is an awesome book for beginning readers. Mercer Mayer does a great job with all of these I Can Read books. The illustrations are very fun and vivid. This book is about a class visiting a sea park and seeing all kinds of sea life. Fun things happen in the sea park and students get a kick out of this book. The words are in large print and this makes it easy for students to read.
Not my favorite Mercer Meyer. It’s kind of eh. The girls like it!

Mercer Mayer was born December 30, 1943 in Little Rock Arkansas. While attending school at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Mayer decided to enter the field of children's book illustration. He created a portfolio of sketches and peddled them wherever he could. He moved to New York City in 1964, pursuing further instruction at the Art Students League of show more New York, where he met an artist named Marianna who became his first wife. He soon created a new portfolio and with these new sketches persuaded editors at Dial Press and Harper & Row to give him some illustration work. Mayer published his first book, A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, at Dial Press in 1967. It was notable for being a completely wordless picture book one that tells its story entirely with pictures. Mayer was one of the first illustrators to be credited for using this format. Five more books in this series were to follow. Mayer joined Golden Publishing, creators of Little Golden Books, in 1976. Through them he has sold his "Little Critter" and "Little Monster" series, which are popular with beginning readers. His title Just Me and My Dad made The New York Times Best Seller List for 2012. In 2015, his title Little Critter: Just a Little Love, also made the list. His holiday book, Merry Christmas Mom and Dad, is also a bestseller. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
