Beneath the ocean's rolling waves,
Lives a world that's full of grace,
A world of creatures strange and rare,
That younger eyes can hardly bear.

There's a marine world down below,
Where invertebrates come and go,
With tentacles that twist and turn,
And budding life that's there to learn.

The medusa floats with gentle ease,
Its current flowing with the breeze,
While social clones are quick to play,
And bask beneath the ocean's ray.

These creatures seem like magic things,
With shapes that make the heartstrings sing,
So dive right in and take a look,
At the world of the marine nook.

Reflections

1. What are some of the strange and rare creatures the children encountered in the marine world?
2. How did the children feel about what they saw in the underwater world?
3. What did the children learn about marine life and the importance of protecting it?
4. What was your favorite part of the story and why?
5. If you could explore any underwater world, where would you want to go and why?
