There Was an Old Sailor by Claire Saxby follows the same rhythm as the There was an Old Lady series. It's a fun read aloud that the children can remember and read along with you. There Was an Old Sailor follows a fishy theme as you would expect. As I was reading it I thought it would be a good lead in to talk with kids about what lives in the sea. I would play a guessing game with the kids on what do you think could eat that? I really liked the end where it offered some explanation and facts about some of the sea creatures mentioned in the book. The pictures were quite well done. I would recommend this book for kids age 5 to 7.
