Cue the balloons and confetti! Hooray!
Happy book birthday to this adorable lift-the-flap board book by Janet Lawler and James Weston Lewis! My youngest grand is sure to enjoy turning the pages and lifting the flaps to discover hidden sea creatures. She’s a girl after Nana’s heart-she LOVES books. Congratulations Janet, James, and Phaidon Press!
Here’s more from Amazon:
Guess who’s hiding under the sea in this lushly illustrated, rhyming read-aloud guessing game, then lift the sturdy cardboard flaps to meet the ocean ’s most amazing creatures – both familiar and wonderfully weird!
There are six sea creatures hiding in the book: can you guess who’s hiding under the surface?
This playful lift-the-flap book takes toddlers on an underwater adventure, introducing them to the wonderfully weird creatures of the ocean – and shows how their unique features are what make them amazing. On each spread, a hidden sea creature is described with a lively read-aloud rhyme, while peek-through details give extra clues to the animal’s identity. Little hands can lift a satisfying, sturdy flap to reveal who’s hiding under the sea.
Congratulations!

Thanks so much, Angie! I know my son would have loved to read this when he was 2-5 years old – that was 3 decades ago, when I first started writing some of the poems! It was a long book journey, and now I am reading WHO’S HIDING? Under the Sea to his baby daughter!
