Enjoy yet another fun format with The Sea (ages 3Ð6), a fold-out poster book in which the “pages” get bigger and bigger, until finally a 32-by-34-inch poster is revealed. In Marie Aubinais’s simple tale, a group of increasingly larger creatures crab, fish, eel, octopus, and dolphin spy a fish hook and guess about its identity. Read it yourself to discover whether any of them take the bait.
