64 Pages

Nonfiction

   This colorful picture book is filled with the different animals that live in the ocean, complete with interesting facts about the components that help underwater creatures survive underwater.

   The illustrations in this book are vibrant paintings. Although they are unrealistic, the paintings do portray the different features of the different animals in a way that helps the young reader notice them.

   Since this book is 64 pages long, it wouldn't be ideal to read the entire book in one setting. However, it would be a great tool to reference when talking about the individual animals and facts about each.
