How about this scenario? You are driving to your favorite beach or aquarium and a little voice comes from the back seat: “Are we there yet?” Instead of explaining about mileage, car speed, time, or geography, hand over this book. Young readers will get an introduction to the world’s oceans, temperature range from icy to warm and tropical, as well as various ocean habitats and the creatures that live in and around them. The book’s likely format includes colorful illustration, including pictures of children playing in the surf, something that fascinates very young or even non-readers.
