Pitch-perfect rhyming, lyrical text and fascinating facts with bright illustrations make this a winner. The author and illustrator celebrate the sea and her creatures in three parts: The Birth of the Sea, The Birth of Life, All That the Sea Came to Be ... From Then to Now, then follow up with notes of discovery and evolution, a fold-out spread of Ocean Creatures Over Time, a glossary and further resources. ( ) This is an exceptionally good science book for children interested in science, natural history, and especially the ocean. The information provided is wonderful and as thorough as could be expected from a picture book. In fact, the book is dense with information. There is an informative and engaging poem in the book proper and it’s excellent but it’s the wealth of material at the end that make this book special. There is a note from the author, a note from the illustrator, an illustrated general timeline of creatures including an impressive fold out page, a list of key terms and concepts, and helpful lists of additional resources: books, videos & pages for children, resources/pages for educators, a mention of the availability of museums & aquariums, and a short selected bibliography. The illustrations are marvelous. Most of them are gorgeous and fascinating. I liked the ones in the first third and the last quarter of the book better than some of the middle (sea life) pictures but they’re all fun to view. That page toward the end that folds out large and includes tons of facts is spectacular. It's a well-designed and put together book. It would make a lovely gift for many children. I also hope that every library will have it available for borrowing. 4-1/2 stars ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
