As it states on the back cover ” With Giant Action Flaps and Mind Blowing Facts ” this board book is packed with the most incredible creatures in the sea.
This is a really good educational book for children as an introduction to a vast array of sea creatures. The Giant Action Flaps give a sense of excitement as children will find out what lies under them. Great illustrations provide a valuable record to support the clear text, full of information about the Terrors of the Sea, the Giants of the Deep, Disguise and Display, Speedy Swimmers, Weird and Wonderful creatures and, finally, Oceans in Danger. There is plenty of important factual information which not only celebrates the most incredible creatures in the sea but also will make every child who reads consider why seas and oceans, that cover three quarters of the earth, need looking after and conserving.
This is a good reference book which should be in school libraries as well as on children’s bookcases. I would recommend it to the 6 to 11 year old readers but younger children may find it a good book for parents or teachers to read to them .Even KS3 children may find it useful to dip into as a reference book. Once you have read the book you never think about the blue part of our planet in the same way again.
