4.0 out of 5 stars I wonder why?, November 5, 2004
By Bonnie Sayers "autismfamily" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: I Wonder Why the Sea is Salty: and Other Questions About the Oceans (Hardcover)
Answers questions pertaining to the ocean in an easy to learn format for children with comical illustrations.

There are forty sections each consisting of a two-page spread and in the phrase of a question pertaining to the ocean. Located in the upper left-hand corner of each left- sided page is a large sized question mark in a blue shade.

Some interesting questions to ponder along with an inquisitive child before prodding along through the book for the answers to those puzzling thoughts. It turns out that there are mountains and hills under the sea. Sea mounts are the correct term used for volcanoes under the sea.

The illustrations in I wonder why the sea is salty and other questions about the ocean are in soft pastel shades nestled among three or four paragraphs relating to each question as it pertains to life under the sea.

For anyone interested in learning more about sea life and its environment this is the perfect answer book for when you stumble on these questions through out childhood. The cover border consists of seashells with the index listing A-Z items. The table of contents covers the first two pages with illustrations mixed within. I wonder why the sea is salty and other questions about the ocean offers many chuckles to the readers while learning facts along the way. The text changes from small to larger fonts in each page and is suited for a beginning reader.

My first graders love science and why questions. This is a great book for read-alouds and also for readers to cuddle up with to answer those WHY questions!
