This is a great book to introduce 4-8 year old children to the magnificent animals in the ocean. Under the Sea provides large colorful drawings and photographs of various sea animals, including: dolphins, whales, sea turtles, sharks, octopuses, rays, crabs and sea horses. The pictures are surrounded by several bite-sized pieces of information about that animal. For example, did you know that male sea horses hold their baby's in a pouch? Although the majority of the book is informational, the end includes a 5-page non-fiction story, a couple of sea puzzles and a short quiz.

We purchased this book after visiting our local aquarium. Our son fell in love with all of the sea creatures we saw on our visit, and this book has been a great reminder of our fun day. It blends real photos along with great illustrations to describe fun tidbits about several creatures in the sea. There are a couple of fun sea puzzles, and a quick story at the end about some undersea friends. It has a little bit of everything, and has been very entertaining for my 5 and 3 year old kids.

My 5 year old LOVES this book! He loves the educational tidbits that are artfully presented on vibrantly illustrated pages. We're now looking for a similar book about dinosaurs.
