[A] memorable and beautifully illustrated children's picture book .
. . Ricardo Cort�s's stunning seascapes follow the adventures of a
shark that has a story to share about creatures who live above the
ocean . . . Filled with humor and warmth, Sea Creatures from the
Sky will charm and entertain children.-- "Midwest Book Review"
Cort�s' premise has child appeal and even some STEM utility, and
his lovely illustrations invite contemplation of the teeming worlds
above and beneath the sea . . . The depictions of the curve of the
Earth in space and of the sky--cloudy or starry, always vast--are
lush . . . Enjoy this tale's accomplished visuals and percussive
rhymes.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
One can applaud Cortes for inviting us to learn about sharks . . .
children will enter and emerge from this book with a new
understanding of humans' interest in sharks and ocean life.-- "New
York Journal of Books"
The phenomenal artwork is what truly makes this book special. The
landscapes of the sea, the sky, and outer space are breathtaking.
Cort�s's different blending and thinning of the colors create a
world of beauty. This fascinating tale of perspective and point of
view makes a fine addition for most collections.-- "School Library
Journal"
What must a shark make of the scientists who study her? I won't be
able to look at the animals I tag quite the same way ever
again.--Dr. Alistair Dove, marine biologist, Georgia Aquarium
