My 4 (almost 5) year old just returned from reading time at the local book store with a new (as in published in 2005) and wonderful book — Hotel Deep: Light Verse from Dark Water by Kurt Cyprus. Using beautiful illustrations and witty poetry it follows a small sardine — seperated from his school — through the hazards and mysteries of a coral reef and its denizens. For our animal loving son, this book was a natural hit, but I must admit to loving it myself, especially since it is so rare to find a sardine as the featured character in a book.
Highly recommended! Especially for ocean and animal loving 3 through 8 year olds! (Er, I guess I should expand the upper age, as I am a bit over 8.)

Eric, you and Tammy really are educating Johann beyond belief!! That boy will be brilliant at whatever he chooses to do. I’m sure his curiosity knows no bounds due to your excellent parentage and I’m sure you two have seen a whole new world as a result of Johann. Keep up the good work!
