Atlas of Ocean Adventures: A Collection of Natural Wonders, Marine Marvels and Undersea Antics from Across the Globe: 1 Hardcover – 22 Oct. 2019

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!

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

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 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.)

My daughter loves it, and I learn things myself.

Beautiful book! I have another book from the series that my school children absolutely love so I’m excited to use this one.
