As Professor Philip Whitfield, who served as a consulting expert for the book, notes in the foreword, "The ocean is a fascinating and mysterious world, waiting to be explored." Jinny Johnson takes readers on an exploration that includes more than 100 sea creatures in a variety of habitats. Each section contains full-color illustrations of the sea animals, a brief description, and three facts: where the animal lives, its size and its scientific name. Within each section there is a catalog and a spread that focuses on a group of creatures. In the Open Ocean, for example, the focus is on tuna and marine turtles. The well written and engaging text will keep readers turning the pages. The only thing missing is a good bibliography. Index and glossary.
