Just add water to the ocean pictures to see them magically fill with colour... again and again!
When you add water to the black and white pictures in this book using the brush included, the world below the waves fills with beautiful colours. Once the water dries, the colour magically vanishes... so you can keep painting it and bringing the colours back. From clownfish and squid to sharks and whales, the sturdy board pages are always waiting for you to fill them with colour again.

About the Author

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.
