Reviews

"This handsome volume from the Sills' About Habitats series introduces the world's largest habitat. . . The paintings are notable for the subtle use of color to recreate effects of water and light within the scenes. . . [A] fine addition to science collections. . . " —Booklist

"A lovely primer on Earth's largest habitat, this book illustrates all the ocean basics with spare text and vivid watercolors. A detailed afterword allows readers to dig deeper." —Scholastic Parent and Child Magazine
