Review quotes

"Law has taken the traditional folk song and tweaked the words slightly so that it is a vehicle for teaching about the marine food chain.... The gouache and collage illustrations picture a bright and sunny underwater world, with vivid shifting shades of blue. A nice addition with a dual purpose" — School Library Journal
