About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is entering the 'obsessive learner' phase and starts asking what lies beneath the surface of the water. It is an ideal choice for the preschooler who is beginning to master the alphabet and wants to apply that knowledge to real world discovery. This book moves beyond simple illustrations, using high quality photography to introduce twenty six different marine animals from A to Z. While the primary goal is literacy and science education, the book also fosters a deep sense of wonder and respect for the natural world. It is perfectly leveled for children aged 3 to 6, offering just enough information to satisfy curiosity without becoming overwhelming. Parents will appreciate the clear, concise text that makes for an easy read aloud while simultaneously building a sophisticated scientific vocabulary.
