Sea Monsters
Sea Monsters is the new children’s song by Brian Sorensen that kids love to listen to and sing along to. Sea Monsters is a delightful rhyme about some of the real life monsters that live in the ocean and imagining what else can be down there that we can’t see, or that we haven’t discovered yet. The imagination of what that could be is the inspiration for the song and story. Sea Monsters is a great learning tool that’s fun to play and helps familiarize kids to different languages of your choice.
