This is a beautiful title about life in the sea. What makes it so special is that the illustrations were created from pressed marine plants. Despite this collage approach, the illustrations are not merely impressions of creatures and habitats, but detailed representations.
The text is plentiful and full of interesting information on different types of sea creatures, but it is also tiny--maybe 8 to 10 point font.
In short, this is lovely to look at, but if the goal is to learn about sea creatures, there are probably better choices. This may have been better presented as a coffee table book.
Did I mention that it is beautiful? Really beautiful.
