The parallels that the adult reader can make between fact and
fiction, environmental damage and care, are the same subtleties
that teach children about relationships and responsibility among
habitats. Meomi has created a fun group of loveable characters that
take the young reader on an adventure through nature and a reef
habitat...I would recommend this resource for any child learning
about the environment including oceans and coral reefs. - Resource
Links "The Octonauts are a group of eight unabashedly adorable (but
somehow impeccably brave) animal pals who scour the high seas for
adventure. Exploring giant bodies of water aren't without their
risks of course... finding incredible new underwater worlds or
attempting to resolve some of the most intriguing mysteries of the
watery deep often send the team into conflict with others. Themes
such as pride, managing one's emotions, and dealing with loneliness
routinely manifest in the book collection, currently numbered at
four, published by San Francisco-based Immedium." - Animation
Insider Beautifully illustrated, the colors are vivid and the
scenes resplendent. Every page has something to draw the eye, yet
is filled to the brim with activity. It's a very attractive read.
The book does a lot to educate readers about the various creatures
and their ocean habitats, labeling them alongside their images. The
underlying social and environmental message - primarily focused on
the responsibility to care for your surroundings - is presented in
a subtle yet effective way. One part mystery, one part adventure,
one part gorgeous, this book will likely be a hit with ages 4-8 and
beyond. - vegbooks the book engages readers through its charming
visual appeal! ....[it tells] an interesting story which teaches
readers a valuable lesson about caring for the environment....
