My visit to the Aquarium captures the feeling of being at the Aquarium with its beautiful illustrations. The author has very thoughtfully included a diverse gathering of people who visit this Aquarium, including a young girl who is using a wheelchair. There is so much information to teach a child who is reading this book about fish, sealife nad other water resources. My daughter exclaims her excitement when looking at the illustrations in this book. It is truly a visit to the Aquarium with out ever having to leave the house. We have renewed this book three times from the library and have decided to add it to our perminent collection since it is liked by every member of the family, adults as well as children. We know you'll love it too

My son is almost 3 and loves to read this book along with me. We have supplemented this book with actual "field trips" to a local aquarium and he enjoys the relationship between what we read and what we see. The author has included many interesting and informative facts without "going over" the little ones' heads. We recommend it!

Akiki's 'My Visit to the Aquarium' is another
wonderful addition in her series of children's books about nature and science. For us, it became the inspiration to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium while on vacation in California. I can still recall my six year old son's excitement as he acted as our "tour giude" from the knowledge
he gained from this book. Beautifully illustrated.

Aliki is one of the best writers for children. She writes in a clear and easy style at the same time never talking down to her young audience. The illustrations are realistic, as I believe they should be in a non-fiction book on a scientific subject. My son has several of her books and they have inspired him to visit the zoo, the museum, and the aquarium, and have kept these places alive in his mind between visits.

STUNNING illustrations. For any child that likes fish or travel in general, this is a GREAT book. It's fairly long and wordy for a three year old child, but with the amazing illustrations and the sheer size of the book (way larger and more beautiful than I ever expected), that's okay - it will hold the attention of a child, no problem! Great story and great pictures!

Format: Paperback
The narrative is simple and clear, yet the level of vocabulary/information is fairly high (aquatic, marine, habitat, porous, crustacean, etc.). The information is not dumbed down, but it is presented so clearly that it is accessible even to the very young. The bright, detailed, full color illustrations are captivating. This is one of the rare books that is equally enjoyed by my 4-year-old and my almost 7-year-old. It's the kind of book you can read again and again, for years, without it becoming old. Highly recommended.

This is a beautifully illustrated book that will delight the younger and feed the curiosity of the older readers learning not only to identify the undersea creatures but to see them in their natural surroundings. My 3 year old twin great-grandsons love this book and keep learning the names of the fish and challenging each other to remember them.
