This extremely well written fun book allows the young reader to become familiar with 10 extraordinary ocean giants. The question and answer format is a very constructive way for children to learn about these giants of the deep. There are interviews with a Bull Shark, a Blue Whale, an Orca, a Giant Squid, a Narwhal, a Marta Ray, an Ocean Sunfish, an Octopus, A Conger Eel and an Anglerfish. The very engaging illustrations and the superb interview questions allow children to learn about the behaviour and the foods they eat. The final pages explain how the reader can help and look after the planet, by protecting endangered species. This is followed by a 10 question quiz about the sea creatures in the book. This book is full of factual information. Perfect for emerging and reluctant readers, young animal enthusiasts will learn a great deal and young children will enjoy the humour that is included too. What a way for children to enjoy reading but also learn how they can help protect endangered species and their habitats.
