封面，一只可爱的海马先生，正用那炯炯有神的眼睛望着我们，似乎在问我们准备好了没，它迫不及待地要讲述它的故事了。

"噢，这可不行，"海马先生说。
"I do love you,but now you are ready to be on your own."
"我很爱你们，但是从现在起，你们要开始自立了。"
这才是父爱啊！ 在带给孩子生存的能力后果断地放手。无论心里有多少不舍，都依然要鼓励孩子一路前行......
今天的分享就到这里。
用最后一句作为结束语“I do love you,but now you are ready to be on your own."
“我很爱你们，但是从现在起，你要开始自立了。”
唯有父母的爱是为分离做准备的爱。也希望大小朋友们从中学习到一些海底动物百科知识。
