Hardcover
Award-winning author and illustrator Eric Carle takes us under the sea this time as Mr. Seahorse introduces us to little-known facts about some fish fathers. It seems Mr. Seahorse isn't the only one who cares for his eggs and babies in the most surprising way. Mr. Tilapia, for example, keeps his eggs safe in his mouth until they hatch, while Mr. Kurtus sticks his on top of his head! Readers will delight in discovering camouflaged creatures behind acetate pages in this informative story that is sprinkled throughout with fatherly devotion. (Ages 2-4)

Everyone always assumes I love children. I do, but I don't want to be surrounded by them. I'm about average when it comes to children: I like some, and some I don't like.
-Eric Carle, New York Times, April 14, 1994
I make things which are half book, half toy, things a child can touch and feel as well as look at.
-Eric Carle
