My Thoughts
About Habitats Oceans covers just about the different types of fish, mammals,living plants, the ocean floor and its formation.
It contains interesting and fun facts about the ocean.
- Most ocean animals live near the top of the water.
- There are mountains at the bottom of the ocean.
- Some ocean animal eat meat and some eat plants.
- There is not only a Sea Horse in the ocean there is also a Sea Dragons.
I am so impressed with this book! I learned many things about the ocean and ocean animals from reading this book
The author and the illustrator brought their talents together to create this fun yet educational book to stimulate a child's mind and curiosity about the creatures of the ocean and their habitats.
There is a glossary in the back of the book that will be helpful to the reader. There is also an Afterword that has information about the flora and fauna the child will see in the illustrations.
I highly recommend this book for all ages.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
