Book Description

6 and up1 and upSleeping Bear Alphabets

From the mythological underwater city of Atlantis to the amount of water that covers Earth’s surface, the oceanic world has challenged and intrigued man since recorded time. And it seems that as much as we do know already, there is so much more to learn. In W is for Waves: An Ocean Alphabet water enthusiasts and budding scientists are given an A to Z tour of the ocean’s depths and the creatures that inhabit them.

Did you know that jellyfish can range in size from one inch to 200 feet long? And what about the mysterious Scandinavian sea monster called the kraken? Was it a myth or did it really exist?

Learn about thermohaline currents, dolphin intelligence, and the largest living structure in the world (Australia’s Great Barrier Reef). In W is for Waves young readers can explore the mysteries of the deep without getting their feet wet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Artwork, the Word Choices Are a Little Strange, December 18, 2008
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: W is for Waves: An Ocean Alphabet (Sleeping Bear Alphabets) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for a friend's son, and was flipping through it before giving it as a gift.

The art in the book is great, I think the pictures are drawn well and the colors are wonderful. But in my opinion some of the word choices are a stretch. For example, E is for Exxon Valdez? Really? I would have chosen something like Elephant Seal or Eel. But instead they chose Exxon Valdez, which I guess is an important part of history.

Along with each picture and word is a brief description to go along with it, which should be helpful for the kids. Overall I think the art and the brief stories make this a good book overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alphabets Explored -, February 19, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: W is for Waves: An Ocean Alphabet (Sleeping Bear Alphabets) (Hardcover)
For a child with an inquisitive mind and sponge like memory, this provides information in a separate strand or
sub category. I can think of nothing that fosters thinking skills and extends experience more than books such as W is for Waves !
