K-Gr 2–An introduction to sea creatures, from the tidal marshes to the deep ocean floor, in an interactive lift-the-flap format. Familiar animals like anemone and clownfish grace the pages as readers learn about underwater habitats and human interactions with them. The inclusion of various living coral species is particularly pleasant as these animals are often underrepresented in identification titles. Vibrant illustrations use the species of animals as guideposts to take kids from the shore crab to the realms of the anglerfish. Children can consider their own experiences with the sea while still allowing themselves room to wonder about the greater things in deep water. Under each flap is more information about the highlighted subjects, such as sea turtles and rock pools. The biodiversity present in this title exquisitely shows the breadth of species and long histories of life in the sea. Fans of other “Exploring Nature for Curious Kids” titles like One Little Seed, will love this deep-water addition.VERDICT An interactive aquatic story that folds in environmentalist themes in a fresh way for early readers.–School Library Journal
