From the tiniest krill to the large gray whale, ocean creatures swim madly through Wish for a Fish--you'll be impressed with just how much information gets packed into the clever Seuss-style rhymes. Cat in the Hat, aboard the S.S. Undersea Glubber, narrates this fact-filled story of life under the sea, along with sidekicks Thing One and Thing Two. You'll learn all about the ocean's food chain, different light zones, and fascinating information about the large mammals that live there. The phonics-based word patterns make excellent early reading practice for any little beachcomber. How can you go wrong with catchy paragraphs like "baleen fills the blue whale's mouth like a grill. As water flows through it, it strains out the krill?" --Jill Lightner
Product Description
The Cat in the Hat, Sally, and Dick take an undersea voyage aboard the S.S. Undersea Glubber! Traveling down from the Sunny Zone to the Dark Zone to the Trench at the bottom, Captain Cat and his crew get up close and personal with the different life forms found at each level of the ocean. Along the way, they meet sharks, jellyfish, dolphins, manatees, whales, and sea cucumbers, to name just a few!

Do books get better than this? October 14, 2008
Wow! I love this book! The Cat in the Hat takes us on an educational tour under the sea, the way Mrs. Frizzle did in the Magic School Bus. Only these books, although written with a controlled vocabulary, rhyme and are fun to read too! "The jellyfish is a most interesting fella. He looks kind of like a transparent umbrella! Stay away from his tentacles (those long stingy things). They stun prey by giving off hundreds of stings!" I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out. This book is a perfect combo of great subject matter presented with real reading fun.

I found this book at an aquarium, and bought it as a gift for my 4 y.o. son and 2 y.o. daughter. Too often, books about nature or science for the younger set give too little info (just pictures and names) or the info is just plain inaccurate. Meanwhile, the books for grade schoolers are too complex (and too long for mom to read as a bedtime story.) This book fills the gap perfectly. It gives honest information in a fun, rhyming format. I am here at amazon.com to see what else I can find in this series, which I had never seen before. I am sure to buy more of these.

Dr Seuss books have done it again. In this magical adventure you get to learn about all kids of sea creatures and the different levels of the ocean. It is a must have for anyone who has children tha love Marine Life. My daughter has this book memorized from cover to cover and it is so factual. I highly recommend this book to any parent or educator. Not only is it fun, but very educational. I learned a lot also!
