Critics Review

Stands out, amid shoals of ocean-focused fact books, for its friendly and appealing design; it has clearly been made not for the coffee table but for children to use and enjoy. From the role the sea plays in sustaining human life, to details of exotic animals such as the cookiecutter shark and by-the- wind sailor, it is rich, engrossing, and packed with passion - especially when calling to preserve the seas from plastic pollution. * The Guardian *

The Sea Book places the planet’s oceanic zoological wonders in a wider ecology of food
webs, ecosystems and planetary processes. Environmental concerns are raised, but without scaring the living daylights out of any children, or their parents. It is a masterful execution of Albert Einstein’s dictum that everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

* BBC Wildlife *
Super colourful and easy to digest […] It’s non-fiction with a conscience too - a section at the back is devoted to ways you can cut down on plastic, including a how-to on making a t-shirt into a reusable shopping bag. Practical, intriguing and beautiful to peruse.. * The Northern Echo *
It would suit all ages… a great amount of information that my daughter and I enjoyed reading together. A must for any children with an interest in the sea – Parent with child age 6 * Toppsta *
Jam packed with information about marine creatures - from mammals to the problem with plastic ending up in the sea – Parent with children age 6 and 2 * Toppsta *
I found it brilliant how much information was in this book and it captured my 3 year old… this was a very educational book I would recommend! – Parent with children age 6 and 8 months * Toppsta *
It was at exactly the right level for my boy, aged 7, and he loved it… one of his most favourite book that gives facts – Parent with child age 7 * Toppsta *
An amazing book that my class loved… It’s beautifully illustrated and an excellent non fiction book. Will be recommending to other teaching colleagues! – Teacher of students 7-8 * Toppsta *
The illustrations were really detailed and my five year old was engrossed. We have read it several times and I have also bought another copy for my niece – Parent with child age 5 * Toppsta *
