A beautiful atlas about oceans! I loved the colorful illustrations and variety of facts contained within this fascinating text. This would be a great reference for older elementary school aged children.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Did you know that we have better maps of the Moon and Mars than we do of our own seabed! Yes. this and many other curious, interesting, amazing and occasionally shocking facts await you in this fantastic Ocean Atlas. I read it with such pleasure and will be buying copies of this wonderful book to give to my friends' small children.

Fantastic book beautifully illustrated!

This was a great book. I absolutely loved the illustrations. I sat and read this with my 8 year old step son. It was full of information about al of the oceans and animals. Easy to understand for a child as well. Such a great reference book. Cute, easy to understand, and relatable for kids.

Naming the seas, telling of their structures, and something of the different levels of life we might find in them – this is very much a geography book for the school library. And it's a very good one, too – the structure of the pages is a fine one, with much more information than those books that splurge factoids all over a spread with no clear reading order. Still, the design is always child-friendly, and nothing seems too off-putting, so everyone can be made aware of thermal vents, bioluminescence, marine snow, and tsunamis. This will be welcome stuff to all educators. Four and a half stars.

As soon as I saw the cover of this book, I was so excited to check it out. My daughter has a huge interest in all things wildlife/nature and when she gets a little older, this will be a perfect choice for her to read. Does a child in your life love the Ocean? Or want to learn more about wildlife that frequent in or around a body of water? This is absolutely the book for them! The illustrations are beautiful and detailed in a way that is broken down so well for younger audiences. It teaches a whole host of vocabulary words, describes animals and other wildlife, discusses the ocean habitat and even lets you take a journey below the sea! Volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis are covered as well as protecting ocean life and climate change.

There isn't a thing I would change about this book and it could be used for recreational reading as well as future school projects.

Thank you so much to Netgalley, Quarto Publishing Group – QEB Publishing and Tom Jackson for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review of this amazing book.
