5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have if you regularly go to any aquarium., December 31, 1997

This review is from: The Underwater Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Hardcover)

We had to buy a second copy (a hardcover) because our sons loved the first, paperback, version to death. Taught my kids not only the alphabet but the names of all the fish. I is for Indigo Hamlet was one of my son's first sentences! My four-year-old can i.d. all these fish at the San Diego aquarium (and wants us to find the others at another aquarium). Never boring for adults, unlike some alphabet books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding alphabet book!, May 20, 2002

This review is from: The Underwater Alphabet Book (Jerry Pallotta's Alphabet Books) (Paperback)

I bought this book because my class is studying oceans. I thought the book might be dull but I needed something and didn't find much else. I had already covered whates, dolphins and sharks. So anyway I read it before bringing the book to school and found it entertaining and amusing. The book is not afraid to be funny. It really lightened up the subject and I can't wait to read it to my students. Thanks Jerry!

I thought this would be a good alpha book for younger students, but it is very wordy. Lots of good info, but too much for little ones. Would be better for 2nd or 3rd grade, but not for alpha. It would be better for science info for things that live under the sea.
