Customer Reviews

Coherent, interesting, and amazing

I first recieved a copy of this book as a child, and enjoy going back to read it even now. The text is accesible to children, but written in such a way that it also appeals to adults. The book is informational without being dry. Instead, it offers a lively and interesting glimpse into the world of marine life that all ages will enjoy. Every book in Jean H. Sibbald's series is written with the same informational and passionate approach, and each book contains high quality photos that add faces to the names of the animals children learn about. I highly reccomend her books to anyone looking for an introduction to marine animals, they are perfect for a night in and offer a great opportunity to read to children!
