Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Spreads teem with ocean life painted in warm, bright colors . . . A pleasant dive into deep waters." —Kirkus Reviews on Ocean! Waves for All

"The creators of Earth! My First 4.54 Billion Years (2017) return with an autobiographical introduction to Ocean . . . a worthy addition to the Our Universe series, as well as an entertaining introduction to this topic." —Booklist on Ocean! Waves for All

Explore ocean basics in illustrated storybook format.

Ocean narrates and is represented by two large, cheerful blue eyes, a crescent-moon mouth, and disembodied, impossibly elastic arms. Facts are shared conversationally, with vocabulary such as “dude,” “stoked,” and “chaa.” The sentences gather and bend with illustrations, set in contrasting type that occasionally changes color to balance color schemes or emphasize key concepts. Information about the ocean’s layers and marine features are presented with concise language and loads of visual interest. Double-page spreads teem with ocean life painted in warm, bright colors. A map serves as illustration when Ocean talks about land arriving—grown-ups may need to clarify that Earth’s continents were not always in this current state. Ocean waits until readers are all drawn in and enjoying the wonders to reveal problems like trash islands and ice melt. Consumer-level actions for ocean advocacy are included in the aftermatter, but solutions and action are not discussed in the primary text. A handful of unnamed human characters have diverse skin tones and homogenous body types. Conceptualizing one ocean instead of four nods to global accountability while also allowing for character development.

A pleasant dive into deep waters. (author’s note, bibliography) (Informational picture book. 5-8)
