SEA BONES

Narrator Crystal Taliefero's welcoming, child-friendly voice entices young listeners into a colorful undersea world. Author and illustrator Bob Barner's bright collages and simple text in this read-along are attention grabbers. Listeners will hear rhyming snippets with accompanying catchy music about deep-sea fish, ocean mammals, coral, and more. Additional information is presented in sidebars. Taliefero's narration is precise, with an overlay of wonder. A Bob Barner audiobook offers a wealth of listening opportunities. There are separate tracks for the different parts of the audiobook: rhyming storyline, captions, detailed information boxes, sea creature names, and a comparison chart of eight sea creatures. Clearly, this is a production for multiple listening experiences. A.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2019]
