title: Wish for a Fish: All About Sea Creatures (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library)
author:  Bonnie Worth 
description: From the tiniest krill to the large gray whale, ocean creatures swim madly through <i>Wish for a Fish</i>--you'll be impressed with just how much information gets packed into the clever Seuss-style rhymes. Cat in the Hat, aboard the S.S. <i>Undersea Glubber</i>, narrates this fact-filled story of life under the sea, along with sidekicks Thing One and Thing Two. You'll learn all about the ocean's food chain, different light zones, and fascinating information about the large mammals that live there. The phonics-based word patterns make excellent early reading practice for any little beachcomber. How can you go wrong with catchy paragraphs like "baleen fills the blue whale's mouth like a grill. As water flows through it, it strains out the krill?" <i>--Jill Lightner</i>
