My kids and I loved this book. Tons of pictures of sea creatures we'd never heard of before i.e. Football fish (appropriately named), Gulper Eel,, Glass sponge, Brittle Star. This interesting book covers everything related to the sea including sea birds.

Wonderful pictures & photos

This was the best book I found in looking for something to do a unit on sea animals with my daughter (we homeschool). We are doing simple file folders of basic facts and picture of each animal and this was the ticket. Instead of having to look through lots of books and piece it together, this book is almost like a little dictionary of sea creatures. Probably about 3 animals to a page with an illustration and just the basic facts in about 3 sentences on each animal. Since that was all we wanted, it fit the bill. It's not in debth on the animals, just a short overview.

Our preschooler loves this book and has pretty much memorized every "creature" in it. The drawings are exciting without being frightening and the text is short. The authors have selected creatures with great appeal for children and she loves to say their names: Black-eyed goby! Moorish Idol! Sockeye salmon!

Sometimes these books say they are for children, but in reality they are geared more for young adults. This books is perfect for little kids. My 5 year old loves this book and thanks to simple, short segments about each creature...she can actually read most of it herself! I highly recommend this book to anyone!

We love this book! This was purchased for my 4 1/2 year old daughter who loves marine life. The content of this book is a little mature for her, but that ensures we have lots of material to learn as she gets older. The pictures are beautiful. I highly recommend.

My grandson of 4 loves the sea life so I bought him this book. He loves sitting and looking at all the pictures
