Follow along with one little shellfish to discover cutting-edge, under-the-sea science!
 
Did you know that deep in the ocean, fish are loud? With modern technology, scientists have recently discovered that fish and shellfish grunt and groan, crackle and cluck, and even burp and boop to communicate. They warn each other, woo each other, and welcome each other with sounds, making the ocean noisy! This upbeat, rhyming nonfiction picture book explores underwater science and noise in a unique way and is perfect for any school or home library.
