- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2021Bought this for my youngest (9) child and she loves it! Obsessed with everything ocean this helps keep her interested and learning. It contains sections: Seashore, Open Ocean, Seabed, Deep Sea, Coral Reef, and Polar Seas.
Filled with various animals some popular and others a bit rare but overall I often catch her reading it here and there. One of her favorite books.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2006This was the best book I found in looking for something to do a unit on sea animals with my daughter (we homeschool). We are doing simple file folders of basic facts and picture of each animal and this was the ticket. Instead of having to look through lots of books and piece it together, this book is almost like a little dictionary of sea creatures. Probably about 3 animals to a page with an illustration and just the basic facts in about 3 sentences on each animal. Since that was all we wanted, it fit the bill. It's not in debth on the animals, just a short overview.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2016Wonderful comprehensive book about marine life. My 4 yr. old grandson finds the pictures fascinating, and the text will continue to interest him once he learns to read. More academic than fun, better for a very inquisitive child.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013This book is really geared to 5 or 7 year old through about 11 or 12 year olds. I have a grandson who is almost 3, but I purchased some books aimed at younger children to give him after it arrived. From reading some reviews, I thought it had a few animals per page with just a little information. I will save it for later.
Sent quickly and arrived in good condition.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2011We love this book! This was purchased for my 4 1/2 year old daughter who loves marine life. The content of this book is a little mature for her, but that ensures we have lots of material to learn as she gets older. The pictures are beautiful. I highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013Grandson -4 years loved it. Abudding scientist. Excellent quality pictures and descriptions of sea creatures. Would recommend.Yes,yes. An excellent book for children who are curios about everything in the sea.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021My grandson loves this book!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2012My 8year old grandson loves everything under the sea and its sea creatures. He might become a Marine Biologist. It will be a good book for him to get information.

JPGReviewed in France on August 6, 20213.0 out of 5 stars Un petit ouvrage très sympa et joliment illustré
Je trouve le livre bien fait pour un jeune public et la qualité des illustrations est supérieure à ce qu'on trouve habituellement. Quelques pages de plus auraient été les bienvenues
LizzardReviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 20125.0 out of 5 stars Excellent guide to sea creatures
This books is excellent. I got it for a 5 year old (even though it was advertised as 'from Age 8'). He loved it and we went through every creature in the book on the first sitting. The drawings and pictures are great, and there is just enough text for a child of that age to get to grips with. I recommend this highly for any child who loves their sea creatures!
Fiona M TurnerReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 20155.0 out of 5 stars Great book for any child interested in sea life.
Fantastic book for any child who is interested in sea life. I purchased this for my 4 year old great nephew who loved it ( had to sit and read it with him in one go!) although the book is marketed for over 8 year olds. Good pictures with simple to understand information about each creature. I would recommend this book.
BazReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 20234.0 out of 5 stars Bought as a gift for my nephew
Good educational book for kids
