Mister Seahorse is the tale about fatherhood. It starts off with Mr. and Mrs Seahorse getting ready to have their babies. Mr. Seahorse keeps the eggs safe in his pouch. He goes for a swim and runs into a bunch of other father fish looking after their babies. In the end, the seahorses have their own babies.
The book won a Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for the artwork. The watercolor fish are beautiful. There are also clear sheets with color on them that hide the fish behind. This is another feature that Eric Carle has done to make his work more interesting, interactive, and more creative. The book is a great story about how fatherhood is important. It was a very basic storyline and I find the writing a little bit plain. Otherwise, a very fun book.
