About This Book
Are you ready for a scintillating seahorse fact? The father seahorse is the one
who carries the mother's eggs around in his pouch before they hatch. In Mister
Seahorse, master collage artist Eric Carle teaches preschoolers this lesson and
introduces them to a few other fish who bear the traditionally maternal burden
of caring for eggs: the stickleback, tilapia, Kurtus nurseryfish (known here as
Mr. Kurtus), pipefish, and bullhead catfish. As ever, it's Carle's art that
steals the show. Cut-up tissue paper soaks up the watery paint and makes for a
boldly colorful, almost jewel-like undersea journey. The story? Well, repetition
is the heart of instruction, after all.
Most of Carle's books employ some sort of gizmo or gadget--and this one is no
exception. Here, for a splendid lesson in camouflage, colorful acetate sheets
mask marine life that is revealed as the child turns the page. Children may take
comfort in the devotion of these undersea fathers...except perhaps at the very
end when the father seahorse says to a freshly hatched sea-pony who wants back
in the pouch: "I do love you, but now you are ready to be on your own."
