Out in the Ocean

New Zealand author

Out in the ocean,
underneath the dazzling sun,
Lived a playful mother dolphin
and her little dolphin one.
'Flip!' said the mother.
'I flip!' said the one.
So they flipped above the waves,
underneath the dazzling sun.


Go swimming out in the ocean and see who else you can find as you count from one to ten.
