Goodreads

This is a nonfiction book that presents information about the interconnected nature of the world’s oceans. It’s loaded with information about sea life, ocean currents, climate change, and more. It looks like a picture book from the outside; however, the text inside is so dense only older readers will be able to stick with it. The information presented is good, the format just isn’t ideal for kids. It would have served its audience better as a longer book with more infographics and broken up blocks of text. Recommended for readers 5th grade and up.
