Ocean Anatomy: The Curious Parts & Pieces of the World Under the Sea by John Niekrasz, Julia Rothman
4.0
I originally had trouble downloading this book but when I got it sorted out, I was scared that the book wasn't going to be worth it. I was glad I fought for this book as the illustrations alone were so beautiful and frame-worthy. I honestly couldn't stop admiring them.
The book had an amazing way of not feeling like you were reading tons of facts. It flowed so well and was easy to understand and learn from. The writing was simple yet effective in teaching me about the wonders of the ocean and would be perfect for young children. The drawings of all the sea life would keep them fascinated and interested as you, or even they, read.
There are some sad portions in the book, near the end, which talks about the endangerment of animals such as the polar bears, and the effect global warming and plastic waste is having on our planet, but I believe that can help some have a wake-up call and realise that neither is a hoax, but is in fact a very serious problem our future is facing.
Recieved from NetGalley.
