From the Back Cover

'Children and adults of various ages, races, and physical abilities tour a public aquarium to look at many of the world's marine creatures. The language is almost lyrical...[and] the story is alive with color and action.'--SLJ. 'A versatile author at her best.... In the large, cheerful illustrations, action-filled spreads are varied with portrait vignettes, and underwater scenes with the visitors' enthusiastic responses.'--K.
