It's the first US edition of this page-filled, creatures-captured
in gorgeous art Ocean Emporium of ocean life. From Crabs to
Octopuses, Sharks to Penguins, each collection's variety is
pictured and labeled with a brief paragraph about the groups. Susie
Brooks introduces the book with a double-page spread explanation of
the ocean's circle of life, Apex Predator sharks to plankton,
shellfish to krill. Her explanations on each page are summaries,
but with them and Dawn Cooper's realistic illustrations, readers
will want to discover more through further research. The book ends
with a vertical double-page of creatures of the deep, "the largest
habitat on Earth". Do you know the Helmet Jellyfish, the Harp
Sponge or the Southern Ocean Giant Spider? You can see them on this
page but will want much more after the view. Be sure to find this
terrific new ocean book for a classroom or for individuals who want
to know more!
