(" Poland is no more!"). A House for a Hermit Crab by Eric Carle: In this fun story of a hermit crab outgrowing his shell, children learn about the fascinating nature of marine life.

The Sea Book by Charlotte Milner: Head on a journey under the sea, through all of the zones of the ocean, exploring a wealth of marine creatures and their habitats – from coral reefs to underwater forests.

New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company. ISBN 0690011512. In 1998, William Butcher issued a new, annotated translation with the title Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas, published by Oxford University Press ( ISBN 978-0-19-953927-7). Butcher includes detailed notes, a comprehensive bibliography, appendices and a wide-ranging introduction studying the novel from a literary perspective. In particular, his original research on the two manuscripts studies the radical changes to the plot and to the character of Nemo urged on Verne by Hetzel, his publisher. The rest of the novel describes the protagonists' adventures aboard the Nautilus, which was built in secrecy and now roams the seas beyond the reach of land-based governments. In self-imposed exile, Captain Nemo seems to have a dual motivation— a quest for scientific knowledge and a desire to escape terrestrial civilization. Nemo explains that his submarine is electrically powered and can conduct advanced marine research; he also tells his new passengers that his secret existence means he cannot let them leave— they must remain on board permanently. Open up the book to meet a wide array of creatures that live under the sea. Sharks, crabs, stingrays, dolphins and many more are waiting to sea your EYFS children (notice what we did there?). Captain Nemo's assumed name recalls Homer's Odyssey, when Odysseus encounters the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus in the course of his wanderings. Polyphemus asks Odysseus his name, and Odysseus replies that it is Outis ( Οὖτις) 'no one', translated into Latin as " Nemo". Like Captain Nemo, Odysseus wanders the seas in exile (though only for 10 years) and similarly grieves the tragic deaths of his crewmen.
