Reviews
Cheerful, witty, and absolutely enticing... The oversize pages featuring creatures from the deep blue sea are filled from top to bottom with illustrations encompassing a palette of blues [and] drawings are unique in their crisp details and dizzying compositions. Factual and visually accurate, this sure-fire kid magnet should prompt a lot of interest--and requests for multiple readings. Just be sure to allow plenty of time for poring over each page.-- "Booklist (starred review)"
A refreshing dive past some of our world's marine wonders.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
Zommer's illustrations are more whimsical than naturalistic--creatures peer at one another with expressive, close-set eyes-but fun, accompanying captions provide factual insights... The portrait layout enhances the sense of ocean depth... Zommer introduces a seek-and-find element, which will lead readers to discover additional faces and surprises within the teeming underwater scenes.-- "Publishers Weekly"
