About the Book:
Over 200 marine species are beautifully illustrated and accompanied by fascinating descriptions and facts such as size, weight, length, and where you can find these sea-dwellers.
Arnosky’s award-winning nature books delight children, parents, and teachers alike— and Shimmer & Splash captures the endless variety of spectacular aquatic creatures, which include stingrays, dolphins, blue marlins, man-o-war, swordfish, a green moray eel, manatee, and a great white shark, along with many true-to-life size illustrations of fish and the teeth of a variety of sharks.
This book is perfect for the marine-biologist-in-training or anyone who is fascinated by all creatures of the sea. Complete with seven fantastic gatefolds.
Our Thoughts:
How incredibly awesome is this? A book with so many species of mammals and fish! I am a huge lover of the ocean and this book is right at the top of my list of cool books for kids! Fold out pages with pictures of fish and whales, etc. I think I loved reading this book more than my son did!
The story telling is amazing! I love that these are things that actually happened and not just a big "fish tale." So many many things to say about this book, but yet I don't want to give too much away. You will love this book and so will your children or grandchildren! The fold outs have to be my favorite!
I can't say enough about this book, seriously. I feel like I'm repeating myself. The facts, and colors are sure to keep any child's attention. You could take an hour or two hours easily going over and over with a fine tooth comb and just diving into this book deeper. A great starting point for those who want to learn more about the ocean and it's inhabitants!!!!
