Reviews

Atlas of Ocean Adventures is a fantastic book that I would recommend for any young person who is keen to explore the amazing creatures that live in the world's oceans. The book is full of gorgeous illustrations that make you want to turn page after page. Through engaging explanations about how the animals live, eat, hunt and survive the reader can gain deeper insight into marine life. The book also draws attention to some of the key threats facing the marine environment at the current time and gives some ideas on how we can all help. * Helen Webb, Co-Founder, Sea-Changers *
