Few readers may know that there are many different kinds of seahorses, some of which are carefully delineated at both ends of this book. The narrative folows the life cycle of a Barbour's seahorsein prose which dances across the page integrated with John Lawrence's distinctive illustrations in verdant shades, in which he uses the technique of wood engraving. Interesting facts about seahorses are interspersed in a different and smaller font.

Dive into the ocean and discover one of the shyest fish in the sea - the seahorse! In the warm ocean, among the waving sea grass meadows, an eye like a small black bead is watching the fish dart by. Who does it belong to? Seahorse!
