My son and I have spent that last couple of months working our way through this book one page at a time. Learning different facts about the oceans... from the animals dwelling therein, to the different levels, to the ships crossing them, and even to the dangers currently facing our oceans. We been amazed, stunned, shocked, and horrified at the different points throughout this book. It's been a good read for us.
My lad has asked copious amounts of questions and we've taken plenty of detours into the world of "google" as we searched out answers to his questions.
We learned about different boats and took the time to look them up. Chinese junks, tirenes, and more
We looked up some of the different submersibles in use to study the oceans.
We were amazed at the different sharks in the ocean like this hammerhead.

I have to admit to being bothered by the evolutionary push in the book as well as the insistence on global warming being a fact. I found myself skipping past a few pages that talked exclusively about such topics. Both are theories and I wish they'd be treated as such, instead of as accepted fact. But take away that, and boy, we learned a ton and had fun while doing so. It's cool to follow new thoughts and ideas, and do outside learning on our own. :)
We did some more learning about water as well. I recently received this book from Raincoast books. It's called Water is Water and is written by Miranda Paul. What a delightful book! It taught my boy that there is more to the water cycle than...

Water is Water: A book about the water cycle is a great book. The illustrations by Jason Chin add so much depth and interest to the story line. My son had fun looking for an animal in every picture. Sometimes the animal followed from page to page, and sometimes they added a new animal...what could it be and what would the water be doing next? It was SO well done. :)
Loved doing this book for a review. :) It's a short book with simple language, about 40 pages long suitable for children 6-9. My son and I took turns reading pages in it, and just thinking about the different forms that water can take. At the of the book we learn that a cat is 80% water, and other pertinent facts about water and the water cycle. Nicely informative in a way that will speak into the lives of children and the precious resource that water is.
