Purchased for grnddtr--she LOVES the usborne encyclopedia books--on any science or nature topic--these books can grow with the child--hers is now about a yr old and she is still reading it and absorbing information! At times I have suggested reading a story-type book, but she wants the encyclopedias instead! She received book at age six--puts it in her backpack when she & bitty baby are going on a "field trip".

I read this non-fiction book aloud to my children.We loved this book! Each page combines both photographs and illustrations, and the information was presented in such a way that even my 4 year-old could understand and enjoy. The book is also internet-linked, which means that the Usborne website contains tons of kid-friendly links to enhance the book where you can watch videos, download pictures, test your knowledge with quizzes, and much more.In addition to learning about various marine life, we learned about the scientific aspects of seas and oceans including waves, currents, and tides. I was really pleased to see chapters included on how people are harming the oceans and its plant- and animal-life through pollution, oil spills, overfishing, and damage to coral reefs.If you have kids that love science books, I highly recommend this one!

My 4-year-old & I sat with this wonderful book, reading, discussing & learning for a full 1-1/2 hours!! (How long will your 4-yr-old wiggleworm sit still?). He carries it around & demands rereads from everyone. A marvelous & enchanting learning tool. Buy it!
