ReviewedFrom sandy beaches and rocky shores to the deepest depths of the sea, the ocean contains a wide range of ecosystems. Each unique environment is home to plants, fish, and creatures of all kinds. Discover how life thrives throughout the ocean. Engaging text and extraordinary photos let readers dive deep into the wild world of the ocean, and included comprehension questions ensure a well-rounded understanding of life beneath the waves.
This series is for readers who like to look into the wine-dark sea and wonder about its multitudes of life. Organized by life form, the ocean life covered in each volume comes together to form an ecosystem beyond fish. The inclusion of reptiles and birds, which might not be the first things readers picture when they think about the ocean, does a great job of subverting expectations. Well-chosen, vivid photographs of ocean life splash across the pages. The text is a little heavy and more technical, but there is still space to pause and marvel. VERDICT: The tapestry of life explained across these titles would be perfect for school and public libraries.
