About This Book

The salty breeze carries the honk of the tugboat as it chugs through the sparkling harbor. Bright colors dance on the waves, where a playful parrot squawks and a shiny goldfish swims in a bowl. Every turn reveals a new treasure—can you spot the teddy bear or the tricycle waiting to be found?
