Be prepared for a few surprises when Danny ventures out into the bay in his dory.

Although taking the dory out solo is strictly forbidden, Danny cannot resist the calm waters of the bay. And that's where the adventure begins. He thinks rowing into a school of bluefish is trouble enough, but wait until the whales enter the picture. Danny encounters one sea creature after another and learns about the ocean food chain in the process. Just when you think you know what's going to happen next, the story takes an unexpected twist.

With brilliant and vibrant illustrations, readers will feel the excitement of being out on the water surrounded by ocean creatures. The life and the life cycle of the ocean will fascinate young readers.
My mom and dad always told me, "You're just a kid, so don't ever go out in the boat alone!" 
But one night I learned about plankton. These tiny sea creatures are invisible during the day, but sometimes, after dark, they light up. 
I wanted to learn more.

But one night I learned about plankton. These tiny sea creatures are invisible during the day, but sometimes, after dark, they light up. 
I wanted to learn more.
