REVIEW
For those young readers who are fascinated by the ocean, this book is worth purchasing for the gorgeous photographs alone. Not only is the book a large size but so are many of the photographs. And as National Geographic has developed an amazing reputation for it's photographs, it's not surprising that that reputation shines through in this book. This book provides an overview of the ocean as an habitat as well as the main groups of animals that live there. Captions as well as short paragraphs with fascinating information make this a great browsing book. The design of the book is beautiful with paragraphs of information balanced nicely with the accompanying photographs. Ideas for young readers to use in helping to protect the ocean are included at the end. This is a book that should be in all libraries as well as in the hands of young animal lovers.
