I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

5 star review!

Brilliantly insightful book, with beautiful illustrations throughout showing the ocean and everything living in it. Excellent resource and should appeal to all ages.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

I would have loved using this book when I was homeschooling by children. The illustrations were absolutely beautiful. The different book sections were interesting and informative. I would recommend this to anyone with young children.

Julia Rothman's books just draw you in with their gorgeous illustrations. Whenever I read them in public people ask me what I am reading because I often gasp at particularly beautiful illustrations.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This is a really cool j non-fiction book about the ocean that kids and adults will enjoy flipping through.

Gorgeously illustrated and informative book that is a classroom staple for reference and for unsatiably curious minds!! I love the quirky illustrations and the fun facts throughout. A really lovely book that would make a perfect gift.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access an advance digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I found this book to be quite interesting with lovely illustrations.

However I did feel that in parts it was a bit wordy so would definitely be suited more towards older children/pre teens.

A wonderfully illustrated book about the ocean and the myriad of life that one can find there. The information provided on each different topic is just enough to make the reader interested, and paired with the intricate and lively drawings, this book should be engaging and informative to anyone who wants to learn more about the sea and its inhabitants. Most of all, it is a great reminder of the diversity of life in our oceans. A good read for young and older readers alike.

This is a fabulous book, beautifully illustrated and educational for adults and children alike. I’ve recommended it to friends and colleagues -
All those purchased it have agreed that it was a great book.

Ocean Anatomy is another win by Julia Rothman in my book. Beautiful illustrations on every page, not just dabbled here and there but the page itself is covered in beautiful illustrations. We are currently doing an Ocean unit study in our homeschool. We look through or read Ocean Anatomy with our curriculum every day. Definitely add this to your library!

Good documentary for kids about ocean. It cover its subject very well and even if I would have like a couple of pictures instead of just illustrations, this documentary is well done!

I adored this book, and was happy to be able to review the ebook version through NetGalley. As an artist and digital illustrator myself, there is something delightful about seeing art used to explain and educate. I wish I had this book when I was little so I could be enraptured by the sea rather than scared of all of things that I would see in my parents' glossies of National Geographic.

Since this book is now published and in print, I have purchased a copy for my younger cousins so they can enjoy the delightful art and learn about everything ocean related from the ocean currents, to identifying sea turtles, and the effects of global warming.

Julia Rothman's Anatomy series takes a deep dive with this latest addition: Ocean Anatomy. From the shoreline, to the layers of the ocean, to all its various inhabitants, Ocean Anatomy takes its readers on a delightful journey of discovery. A wonderful mix of colorful illustrations, informational diagrams, and engaging content, Rothman's newest book has something for everyone.

I've never had the privilege of owning one of Rothman's books so I wasn't sure what to expect. But Ocean Anatomy blew away any preconceived ideas I had. Although marketed as a children's book, this latest additional would surely appeal to audiences of all ages. The informational goes beyond introductory without being overwhelming, and the illustrations are a mix of whimsy and scientific accuracy. This would make a wonderful addition to any home library, with particular appeal to homeschooling families.

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Julia Rothman’s collection of illustrated compendiums on various subjects have a following among this bookseller’s clients and friends. This one in facets of ocean life is not an exception. The single-page treatment on each topic is accessible and engaging to readers of many ages and the book as a whole offers knowledge and entertainment regardless of one’s familiarity with the subject matter. A great gift idea!

This is another book that I would really purchased for myself or for my kids (one day when I have one). It is a very educational book that would really teach you SO MUCH. I know Julia Rothman has other titles on this series, and I highly recommend you to pick it up if you have kids or if you're looking for a gift.
It's amazing, full of color. It is clear and to the point. It makes learning so much more fun!

Oh Julia! How I adore your work!

My thanks to Storey Publishing for a temporary digital edition via NetGalley of ‘Ocean Anatomy’ written and illustrated by Julia Rothman in exchange for an honest review. It’s available in ebook format now and will be published in paperback on 1 May.

This book is subtitled: The Curious Parts & Pieces of the World under the Sea. While the art suggests that it is intended for a young readership, it is a book on nature that it is suitable for all ages.

It provides a wealth of information about the oceans, shorelines, and a wide variety of marine life from the microscopic to gigantic. It also considers the impact of climate change, pollution, and other threats to the oceans and its inhabitants.

Aside from all the information, the art is amazing. Every page has new delights to discover. It concludes with lists of recommended reading as well as selected resources and bibliography.

I found it beautifully illustrated throughout. It’s a book that would make a lovely gift and one that I would hope to see on public and school library shelves.

This is the fourth in her Anatomy series. The other titles are Nature Anatomy, Food Anatomy, and Farm Anatomy. They all look fab!

I expect that I will buy my own physical copy in due course.

Highly recommended.

Ocean Anatomy is touted as a stunning, all-encompassing nonfiction read tailored specifically towards those of a younger age and it proves to be a comprehensive, accessible and riveting whilst educational. It is thoroughly entertaining and this coupled with the fact that it captures your attention with intriguing facts and figures and more in-depth information make it a must-read for everyone who is interested in our vast oceans. In some ways, I feel that the publishers have very much sold themselves short as this is not only a book for youngsters to thoroughly enjoy but it holds the exact same merits when it comes to adult readers who will appreciate it a lot more than perhaps they expected when reading it alongside a child; I learned a lot and loved every second of it.

It covers pretty much every topic regarding our oceans that you could imagine and is not only wonderfully interesting and breathtaking from the first page but bright, vibrant and visually stimulating too. Because of this, I feel strongly that it is one of the best children nature books I have ever come across and is worth every bit of the modest price tag. This is part of a superb series, and I am now eager to pick up the rest of them. These are books for parents and children to marvel at together and a benchmark for all similar books striving to whet the appetite for reading early on in life and igniting an intense spark of passion for the natural world and our earthly environment in young hearts and minds. A detailed, thrilling and absolutely delightful book. Highly recommended. Many thanks to Storey Publishing for an ARC.

This was decently interesting - I shared bits with my almost 7 year old as I read and she enjoyed the information and was able to read most of it. My biggest complaint is the fonts chosen - I'm unsure if it was just in the epub form and would be fine in a physical book, but I had a very hard time reading it. I asked her about that font and she said it was pretty, but that she couldn't read it because she isn't great at decoding cursive-like fonts yet. I'd like my child to be able to find information and peruse the book at her leisure, as well as be read to, and that made it difficult. I love the idea of something like this, and I would probably borrow it from the library, but I'm unsure if it's one we would choose to own.

Rothman's Anatomy series is a favorite among our patron's and this new release will be no different. It is an excellent resource and the graphics are delightful.

Beautiful, wise and informative, as every previous Julia Rothman's book. Fascinating scientific facts that will surprise not only children (I don't have any and still love this book). Definitely worth buying in print.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance copy of this book.

Another winner from Julia Rothman! This book is perfect for the child who gets obsessed with oceans- and all kids seem to go through an Oceanographer phase at one time or another. It's also perfect for homeschoolers- you can create a heck of a unit study out this one!
