Review:

Earth is often referred to as the blue planet. That nickname stems from the vast water bodies that cover two-thirds of this amazing planet. Earth’s oceans are home to millions of animals and plants, and produce more than half of the oxygen we breath every day. Did you know that salt in seawater comes from rocks and is carried by rivers into the ocean? Did you know that manatees are a relative of the elephant? The deepest recorded free dive using a single breath is 830 feet. Are your curious to learn more?

In this guide to the ocean, readers will get specific with ocean terms and the types of animals and plants that thrive in or around these waters. From the tiniest marine life to the largest polar bears all animals need water and can exist in some of the most extreme temperatures. Kids will be able to identify girl fish from boy fish and even learn about nurturing fish families. Readers will learn about how earth’s oceans are in peril and how they can help. Parents and teachers can share this with kids who want to know more about the waters on earth.
