An absolutely GORGEOUS mix of science and art. Brilliant factual information that goes far beyond the 'standard', making it ideal for naturally curious kids but also raising the possibility that it just might spark something in those that are a little more reluctant...

I really like all of Rothman's books but I think this may be my new favorite. It is so packed with fantastic illustrations and information about oceans, ocean animals and everything a child (or adult) could want to learn about anything in them. A must-have for homeschoolers, school libraries, or any family who lives near or cares about the ocean (that should be all of us). This would also make a fantastic coffee table book for properties near the ocean. It's so interesting to flip through and the art is phenomenal.

Rothman also goes into explanations about how things like climate change and overfishing affect ocean life, with sections on issues like the floating garbage patches and rising sea levels. This is done in an informative way without weighing down the subject matter.

I will probably be purchasing this one for our homeschool library.

I read a digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

A beautifully illustrated journey that appeals to many ages. Incredibly in depth information presented with such ease and allure.

Ocean Academy is a great book to teach a lot of facts about out sea life in a fun and spectacular way. Great Illustrations together with lots of smart and interesting facts are a great combination to draw attention to the important topics of our time – the need to safe the oceans. It is much fun to discover all those facts about flora and fauna, from more known to lot of unknown. The structure of the book was good as well and easy to follow. When there is more interest to a certain topic it is easy to just switch to the chapter of interest.

Julia Rothman's illustrated and informative guides are some of the most treasured books in our children's home library. Not only are they just stunning to look at but they pack a punch with informative text that is both engaging and enlightening for readers young and old.

This Ocean Anatomy book follows the same style as her previous books and covers a wide variety of informative concepts relating to ocean life. From explaining the vast amount of creatures that inhabit them to the impact that global warming has on our oceans as a whole.

I can't wait to add a hardcopy of this book to our collection when it is published this spring. Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for an advanced ebook copy. All opinions are my own.

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

This book is a beautifully illustrated book jam packed with information about different sea creatures, fish, rocks, sand, oceans, mammals, sharks, whales, icebergs, pollution etc. Its an amazing source of information for children and adults. I found I learned a lot of pieces of information during my time reading this book.

I adored the illustrations throughout the book, the layout and the way the information is presented in diagrams, facts and illustrations rather than just text. I love that it included sections about overfishing, pollution and the impact of human culture on sea creatures and the health of the ocean. I think it's a great book for all ages, particularly older children and maybe teens.

The anatomy books by Rothman are a great way to introduce concepts to young children, to reiterate concepts that need more visual explanation for older children, or to refresh the minds of adults. They are highly visually-appealing and have the ability to take more difficult concepts and break them down into easy-to-digest pieces. The text and illustrations together make for a great teaching tool. You could easily use this book as a basis for intro to marine biology!
