Laugh and learn with fun facts about narwals, dolphins, sharks, giant squid, manatees, and more—all told in Dr. Seuss’s beloved rhyming style and starring The Cat in the Hat!

The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library series combines beloved characters, engaging rhymes, and Seussian illustrations to introduce children to non-fiction topics from the real world! In this adventure under the sea, readers will learn:

•       about the different levels of the ocean
•       how echolocation helps dolphins see in the dark
•       and much more!

"There is a big gap between ’concept’ books written for preschoolers and nonfiction that requires fluent reading skills. The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library books introduce beginning readers to important basic concepts about the natural world. They provide the critical foundations upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be build. In addition, The Cat in the Hat’s Learning Library shows young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time. This is a wonderful series!"
