This is a quick and easy guide to identifying sea creatures all across the continent. It orders the creatures by similarities to each other, so it flows well. Each creature has a short description, characteristics, fun facts, and pictures that gives kids a nice introduction to sea life. The way the book is set up is also ideal for kids who are trying to identify creatures in person.
