Description
Emaline and her family love being in the wilderness, so they decided to move to Colorado. There, in the summer, they go hiking, camping, and biking. In the winter, they go skating. skiing, and sledding. But there is one thing they miss terribly-the ocean. As often as they can, they travel to the beach to play in the sand and surf, and explore the beautiful tidal pools.
Emaline is an underwater adventurer. She loves exploring the pool and meeting the special sea creatures who live there. She meets an octopus, a cuttlefish, a squid, a turtle, angel fish, sea horses, hermit crabs, and an angler fish.
In this beautifully illustrated children's book there is a page for each different creature with its special skills, as well as a suggested web search for videos to see the real creature in action.
A perfect book for kids 5-12 and their parents, teachers, and caregivers to read together and discuss how every creature on earth has special skills that make them unique.

Recently, Emaline snorkeled with her family in the Caribbean and met real-life creatures like the ones in this book. The trip reinforced her (current) dream of someday becoming a marine biologist. She's a huge fan of underwater scientists, including Sylvia Earle, PhD, and "The Shark Lady," Eugenia Clark, MA, PhD.This book's concept, underwater characters, and storyline are largely Emaline's, with a little help from family and friends-especially her Papa Tom, a musician and pilot, and her Grandpa Glenn, who inspires her with stories from his career as a commercial diver, and is a true expert at answering all of her questions about our amazing underwater world.
