[A] memorable and beautifully illustrated children's picture book .
. . Ricardo Cortés's stunning seascapes follow the adventures of a
shark that has a story to share about creatures who live above the
ocean . . . Filled with humor and warmth, Sea Creatures from the
Sky will charm and entertain children.-- "Midwest Book Review"
Cortés' premise has child appeal and even some STEM utility, and
his lovely illustrations invite contemplation of the teeming worlds
above and beneath the sea . . . The depictions of the curve of the
Earth in space and of the sky--cloudy or starry, always vast--are
lush . . . Enjoy this tale's accomplished visuals and percussive
rhymes.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
One can applaud Cortes for inviting us to learn about sharks . . .
children will enter and emerge from this book with a new
understanding of humans' interest in sharks and ocean life.-- "New
York Journal of Books"
The phenomenal artwork is what truly makes this book special. The
landscapes of the sea, the sky, and outer space are breathtaking.
Cortés's different blending and thinning of the colors create a
world of beauty. This fascinating tale of perspective and point of
view makes a fine addition for most collections.-- "School Library
Journal"
What must a shark make of the scientists who study her? I won't be
able to look at the animals I tag quite the same way ever
again.--Dr. Alistair Dove, marine biologist, Georgia Aquarium
