School Library Journal - 10/01/2017 Gr 3–6—Astonishing full-color illustrations accompany accessible text that elaborates on the marvels to be found in Earth's oceans. The content is divided into sections that cover aquatic subjects from shallow rock pools to the deepest depths, in addition to sea forests and coral reefs. Most of the organisms described will be unfamiliar to readers, such as diatoms, bryozoan, and foraminifera, as well as more well-known life-forms, such as octopuses, sea horses, and kelp. Microscopic close-ups exhibit the beauty and wonder of these creatures in great detail. Each subject is identified by its Latin and common name, size, and location. Also noted are unusual behaviors, habits, and habitats as well as role in the ecosystem. The magnificent diversity of the seas, the variety of patterns and shapes, and the utter beauty of these amazing creatures are well served by Taylor's artwork and will invite readers to further explore marine life. An adequate bibliography and suggested websites for further information are helpful for curious students. VERDICT Stunning close-up illustrations make this a valuable addition to any science or animal collection.—Eva Elisabeth VonAncken, formerly at Trinity-Pawling School, NY - Copyright 2017 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
