This gorgeous tale follows Mister Seahorse and other 'male mothers', in the ocean, with special acetate pages that hide fish behind rocks and reeds.

Other titles from Eric Carle: The Very Hungry Caterpillar The Very Busy Spider Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? From Head to Toe The Very Lonely Firefly Review: Is it only upto mothers to take care of the babies - In a world where mostly mothers take care of the young ones, in a very thoughtful way, Eric Carle introduces to young minds real life examples where fathers spearhead this part of the duty. And in doing so, they take all the pains to keep their eggs safe till the babies hatch. The book describes the journey of Mr. Seahorse as he vades through water with eggs in his pouch. From Mr.Tilapia who can't talk as Mrs. Tilapia has laid eggs in his mouth to Mr. Kurtus who can't move as Mrs. Kurtus has laid eggs to of his head, the book beautifully talks about parental efforts. And what a way to end the book where after all the endeavour, the babies are set free to explore life on their own. My toddler enjoys this book. Very colourful book, there are special pages where Mr. Seahorse meets variety of sea animals camouflaged. The pages are very soft, high print quality. A very good addition to toddler's library. Personally, I would highly vouch for this book. Review: Beautiful - Book is beautiful and nice as all Eric Carle book.

It is really a very well illustrated book and it clearly amazes the child and parent alike. It has plastic sheets that are colored and they flip between the left side and the right side of the page creating amazing illustrations. I would recommend the entire series from Eric Carle and I have gone ahead and bought all the other books from this author in the large size paperback edition. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mister Seahorse - The Very Lonely Firefly (Step into Reading) - The Very Busy Spider (Step into Reading) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/75848488-mister-seahorse](https://www.desertcart.at/products/75848488-mister-seahorse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
