#1 SEA CRITTERSBy Sylvia A. Earle ~ 2007 Grade 1-4 ~ Age 6-9 ~ Reading Level 4-8
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc. By Arrangement With National Geographic Society
CONDITION Brand New ~ 32 Glossy Pages ~ Soft Cover ~ Gift Giving Quality
You know what a cow says. You’ve seen elephants at the zoo. And cats and dogs are everywhere. It’s time for a whole new cast of animal characters: Sea Critters. Meet sea squirts and sea lilies, sponges, moray eels, hermit crabs and nudibranchs, plus their many, many cousins as marine biologist and ocean lover Sylvia Earle introduces you to some lesser-known animals in a magical deep sea underwater frontier during her photo-essay dive. Enhanced with parent/teacher notes and vivid photos, a comprehensive guide explores the creatures of the deep ocean in their natural habitats.
With a lovely, browsable intro and full-bleed color pages, it employs a double-page format with full-color photography of one or more representatives facing a page of explanatory text and full-color drawings. The groupings describe key elements to clarify the relationships. For example, jellyfish, corals and anemones are grouped together as ‘The Stingers’. The photos throughout are stunning and engaging, from the explosion of shades of yellow of the gold cup coral and the brilliant burgundy of the frilly Christmas-tree worms, to the in-your-face close up of the hermit crab.
This is such an excellent reference book, and yet it’s so hard to find it in bookstores.
#2 OCTOPUS’ DENBy Deirdre Langeland ~ 1997
Publisher: Soundprints By Arrangement With Smithsonian Oceanic Collection
CONDITION Brand New ~ 31 Glossy Pages ~ Hard Cover ~ Gift Giving Quality
Pocket Size Book Measures 4-1/2” x 5-3/4”
While this book wasn’t published for any demographic group, everyone who reads it will pick up new facts about the octopus. The illustrations are gorgeous, truly capturing the beauty of the deep seas and the wonderful patterns and tones of the octopuses. Here’s a sampling of what happens: Octopus escapes from a hungry moray eel, but more trouble lies ahead. Octopus encounters danger as he returns to his den, finds it claimed by another of his kind, and ventures out to seek a new home. In between the pages, the characteristics and survival tactics of sea life are exposed.
