[RUTHC]

This book is an amazing way to introduce kids to new animals. The traditional arrangement of questions and answers looks at all that is unique about ocean life. Beautifully created characters and humorous language disclose the surprising answers. This is definitely a readout loud book. I would suggest open to all ages, if I have to pick one it would be 3rd graders. A new way to learn about our creatures of the ocean, I sure did.
