Splash into summer with THE QUIET OCEAN! This companion book to THE QUIET FOREST features a playful pufferfish who startles a squid, which sends ripples of worry throughout the ocean.
Deep beneath the waves-
a pufferfish putters alone.
A playful puffer
in a quiet, nothing-much-happening ocean.
Until…
One small pop sets off
a chain of outrageous events,
causing the whole ocean
to have a very frazzled day indeed!
Can the sea creatures find a way to bring quiet back to their underwater home?
