Review: A great dad book for kids. - You gotta hand it to Eric Carle for still putting together great visuals and cute stories like this. I never heard of Mister Seahorse until a few months ago, and figured it was one of his books I missed out on when I was a kid. Nope, 'turns out it was released in 2004, but it sure fits in with his other greats like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Very Quiet Cricket. And just like those books, it sports a unique feature with how the pages are done here and there. Mister Seahorse takes care of Mrs. Seahorse's eggs one day, and carries them in a pouch on his stomach. He goes around the ocean, and encounters a few other fish that also happen to be dads that are taking care of their eggs too. Between encounters, Mister Seahorse will see different creatures hiding behind rocks, seaweed and other objects, introducing the reader to new kinds of marine life. The final pages have the babies hatching from their eggs in Mister Seahorse's tummy, and they all leave him, ready to go out into the world on their own. One seahorse tries to go back, but, lovingly, Mister Seahorse tells it that while he does love the baby, it needs to go on without him. This book has the usual colorful Eric Carle artwork with tissue paper, and it looks beautiful. Every book I see by him, it's like his work just gets better and better. And you gotta love the use of transparent sheets to hide some of the fish every couple of pages. One page will say that Mister Seahorse sees something, then the next page is covered by a transparent plastic sheet with something to hide the fish on the page beneath it. Like a big brown rock concealing a big brown fish. When you turn the page, Mister Seahorse is covered by the object, and it still looks good. Kids will love this feature, and my daughter is always eager to turn the clear pages herself. The only negative thing I can point out is that the book is repetitive with the plot- Mister Seahorse encounters another father fish, tells it that it's doing a good job, bumps into hidden creatures, repeat a few times, but it's been said that children love repetition, so I can't dock points for that. The story is still cute, and the artwork is eye candy galore. Plus this is one of the few kid's books I've seen around that focuses on the dad taking care of his children, and it's good that good ol' Eric did a story with this theme. 5 stars for great art, great use of clear pages, and for being my daughter's second book that she's memorized (the other being Where the Wild Things Are of course).
Review: Colorful and textures are the best ! - This book is amazing. It has transparent pictures, textures fishes and a lot of color. The children can learn how the parents care their eggs until hatch. My kid liked to much. Any book from Eric Carle is wonderful for children

This book is amazing. It has transparent pictures, textures fishes and a lot of color. The children can learn how the parents care their eggs until hatch. My kid liked to much. Any book from Eric Carle is wonderful for children

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully illustrated, sweet story
*by L***L on January 7, 2025*

I love that this book has beautiful illustrations with some pages being partially transparent to reveal sea creatures hiding behind things. The story is about a seahorse couple having babies, and I like that it’s an example of a male character being nurturing and caring. Our baby boy enjoyed it.
