Reviews

[Heather]

We read through this while studying ocean life. There are several creatures per page, with a short paragraph about each. There is also a size comparison and an excellent illustration.

While you don't learn a ton about each animal, you do learn a little about a lot of animals. My boys have enjoyed looking through this for hours and hours.
