Atlas of Ocean Adventures: A Collection of Natural Wonders, Marine Marvels and Undersea Antics from Across the Globe: 1

First of all, this book is absolutely stunning. I love that the book is divided by different Oceans, and then by the specific animals that live there. There are plenty of things to spot, to make it interesting for my little ones, yet enough information for my pre-teens to learn about each creature without getting bored. I will definitely by more of the books in this atlas series.

Absolutely beautiful book, everything about it is so nicely done and to such a high standard! I bought this for my self for some lockdown light reading! Lots of details of species more details that I’ve found online! Highly recommend for children and adults!! I love the text on dark background so nice nicer to read!

What a gorgeous, richly exciting for kids and adults, informative and beautifully illustrated book. Bought one for school use and have asked PTA to order more for each class as a resource and reference book. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

This was purchased as a leaving gift for a school library. The children will love it as it is great for different age groups and has lots of information with wonderful illustrations.

Very impressed with this book illustrations were so well detailed my Grandson loved it and has taken it to school on several occasions

My daughter loves it, and I learn things myself.

This is a very well designed intro to ocean creatures. Lots of such books follow an encyclopedia format, or look like textbooks with lots of sidebars, font changes, and stock photos. This book moves in a different direction. Each topic or subject gets a two-page splash. The splash is one single illustration, (cavorting spinner dolphins, a leatherneck turtle, a lantern fish bait ball, a unique underwater feature). One line factoids are scattered throughout the drawing. There are bits of graphic business around the edges that highlight other fact features, (including a small map insert that displays the creature's range). The upshot is that there is a great deal of visual appeal, but also a fair amount of easily understood information. The tone is just right. The narrative style is inviting and a bit casual, but not sappy or jokey. The drawings aren't photo realistic, but they aren't cartoony either. The feel is more like a colored field journal, which is an engaging and attractive compromise. There are 37 topics covered. They are organized by ocean, so for each set of topics you start with an introduction to that ocean, and then move on to special features or denizens. Including the Indian Ocean and the Arctic and Southern oceans along with the usual Pacific topics was a nice touch, and allows for more variety than seems usual for these sorts of introductory ocean fact books. (The book also goes for the less common - Portuguese Man-Of-War, octopuses, Boobies, Sally Lightfoot Crabs, cuttlefish - instead of the usual Great White Shark material.) So, I found this attractive, informative and engaging. It seemed to offer a good balance between content and a fun style, and seemed especially well designed to be a read together sort of book. (Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

Great book daughter loves reading it.

This is hands down one of the most beautiful childrens books I’ve ever boughten. Would recommend! 10/10! It’s so alluring in its unique style. My kiddo loves it, but I might love it more!

This ocean atlas is quite large and would make a wonderful gift for an ocean loving child or even for a baby shower gift. The colors and illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. Each 2 page spread has an incredible amount of detail that keeps you lingering. I really love how in some of the scenes there’s quirky little things added. For example in the sea otters you’ll see an otter mischievously sticking his tongue out or in the hammerheads scene you’ll find one with a bouquet of flowers. At first I just thought it was a silly little detail to keep the kids interested but then I noticed at the end of the book there’s a game of “Can you find?” I cannot express how much I love this book. It’s definitely going to be one that gets well worn corners and pages.

My 7yr old nephew loved this book!

I love finding beautiful books for my kids and this is one! Sturdy with matte-finish hard cover and thick paper. The illustrations are so colorful and detailed. Just enough text to learn interesting facts but not too cluttered. I really love it and can’t wait for my daughter to see it!

Amazing history you forgot, given in a beautiful displayed book
