I don’t know about you, but I LOVE to look at picture books. Don’t get me wrong, I love a story just as much as the next gal, but pictures are awesome and being able to make up my stories is super fun! As part of our ocean animals unit study, we are reading. Reading lots and LOTS of books – but these picture books about the ocean will allow the little ones to play along AND allow some awesome creativity from the older ones.
