ReviewedFrom albatross that fly high above the water to Earth’s largest animals that make their homes deep in the sea, the ocean is home to hundreds of species of birds and mammals. Discover how each species survives and succeeds in its ecosystem, and learn how people are working to protect endangered species 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.
