Editorial Reviews

Review

The magic of the underwater world comes alive in this pleasant children's book. The illustrations help to take the reader through the many different ecosystems that constitute Earth's "wet world." From streams and rivers through marshes to the shore, each ecosystem is carefully described in clear terms that can be understood and appreciated by children ages 5 to 9.Worth noting is the excellent glossary, unusual in a children's book but quite useful here. A child assigned to write a report that includes research, for example, will be able to utilize this helpful feature. Parents who want to assist their children to understand and remember the concepts provided in this book also will be grateful for the thorough list of terminology. -- From Independent Publisher --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
