Now young children can enjoy Eric Carle's classics in Chinese.When Mrs. Seahorse lays her eggs, she does it on Mr. Seahorse's belly! She knows he will take good care of them. While he swims waiting for the eggs to hatch, he meets some other underwater fathers caring for their babies: Mr. Tilapia, who carries his babies in his mouth; Mr. Kurtus, who keeps his on his head; and Mr. Catfish, who is baby-sitting his young hatchlings. Eric Carle has done it again, with astonishingly beautiful collage illustrations and a story that introduces the very young to the wonders of aquatic life . . . and some very special daddies. A "hide and seek" feature with acetate overlays adds a colorful surprise.

艾瑞•卡尔运用彩绘拼贴和透明页，制造出真实、丰富而有趣的海底情境，介绍了自然界中负责育儿孵卵的爸爸们，他们努力保护、照顾宝宝，展现浓厚的父爱，诉说了一个海洋世界中奶爸们的故事。如果读者能仔细地去了解书中所介绍的鱼类，就会发现躲在透明片后的那些鱼类，都是具有毒性与攻击性的，威胁着小鱼们的生长。这种巧妙的安排，显见作者对于自然界的细腻观察，另一方面又蕴含深意，表达了育儿成长的艰难与挑战。
