About this book

My undersea world is such fun to explore. It has cool salt-doh islands and sand on the shore.

A shiny silk scarf makes the shimmering waves. And painted egg boxes form undersea caves. There are bottle top boats bobbing out on the tide and pipe-cleaner reefs where my paper fish hide.

My small world is waiting, so come take my hand, I’ll show you who lives in my undersea land.

Join two young explorers as they journey through the oceans to meet all the wildlife that live beneath the waves.

The clever illustrations from award-winning Harry Woodgate, beautifully blend home-made scenery with imagined and “real” sea life, making this book is a great way to inspire creative small-world play.

With a handy How To guide full of ideas, children, schools and families will be inspired to create their own small worlds - the perfect place to invent, explore and stimulate curiosity about the time of the dinosaurs!

A brilliant second book in this exciting new series, perfect for little readers at home, school and preschool.

We love this series! The rhyming text makes it the perfect read for little ones and the vibrant illustrations bring under the sea to life!

With the turn of each page you learn so much about different sea creatures and habitats, there is so much to talk about as you read!.

Mixing the world of imaginative pretend play of bottle top boats, salt dough islands and painted egg boxes with real life examples of rock pools, oceans, coral reef, shipwrecks and turtle laden beaches is inspired! What a clever way to allow children to learn more about our incredible seas and sands and invite them to create their own underwater landscapes!

With Harry Woodgate’s colourful scenes and clever use of recycled objects, ‘My Small World Underwater’ sparks creativity and imagination. Get ready for an immersive journey into the depths of the sea!
— Emily Cary Elwes @BooksB4Bedtime
These picture books are unique in the way that they model imaginative play and combine this with both facts about sea creatures and other ocean dwellers and practical instructions to create your own small worlds.

It’s such a help for tired teachers, as well as parents, it makes a perfect bookish accompaniment to a tuff tray setup or an under the sea topic, and older children can use it to inspire their own creative ideas too.

an absolute mini craft lovers dream! Filled to the brim with small world art ideas and a handy ‘how-to’ guide
