At the Sea Floor Café: Odd Ocean Critter Poems
by Leslie Bulion (Author) and Leslie Evans (Illustrator)

Booktalk: The poems in this collection describe the devious and sometimes surprising methods ocean denizens use to forage for food, capture prey, trick predators, and protect their young.

Includes science notes with details about each animal’s behavior, a glossary, and an appendix explaining the types of poem that appear on each spread.

Dive In!
Let’s visit a habitat shallow and deep,
and boiling hot, where acids seep,
and frigid and pressured and
mountainy-steep.
Come explore the sea!

Find me
