Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Animals Hidden in the Ocean: Animals Undercover
Jessica Rusick · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Uncredited
55/100
👎 Skip It
The camouflage-and-adaptation angle is genuinely engaging for young science minds, and Capstone's Pebble Sprout imprint is credible enough to trust the facts. The problem is that this is a photo-driven book adapated to audio format — and the photos are the whole point. An uncredited narrator and a classroom-first design make this a poor fit for a retail audiobook purchase.
