'Children and adults of various ages, races, and physical abilities tour a public aquarium to look at many of the world's marine creatures.

In the large, cheerful illustrations, action-filled spreads are varied with portrait vignettes, and underwater scenes with the visitors' enthusiastic responses.'--K.
