About this book
Did you know that the oceans are home to 94% of all living things? These vast bodies of water contain multitudes of animal and plant species – all of which have adapted to thrive in different habitats.
Whether you bathe in the warm vibrancy of a coral reef or take the plunge down to the darkest depths of the cold ocean floor, you will be bound to find life flourishing. This book shines a light (quite literally) on these incredible organisms and shares amazing facts about the biodiversity that makes our oceans so special.
Featuring an incredibly inventive 'magic searchlight' feature, this book encourages children to feel involved in the reading process. There are flaps to lift, fun facts to read and lots of details to spot in the bright, colourful illustrations.
As well as its interactive features, this book is also well-pitched to its readership and its information is clearly laid out in manageable chunks. Children will recognise many of the animals and will enjoy learning about them before seeking them out with the magic torch.
For more interactive animal non-fiction, try some of the other titles in the Seek and Find series.
