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!!!!
