Super Ocean Weekend: The Ultimate Underwater Adventure

The ocean is such a vast topic that it would be difficult to cover everything in one book, but Gaëlle Alméras invites young readers to explore the ocean as if it were a playground in this ultimate underwater adventure. 

This unusual guide to all things oceanic follows cartoon characters Orni, Echid, Castor, and Squeak through the book as they navigate different environments, ask questions, and talk to the reader about all their amazing discoveries. 

Including chapters about coral, the climate crisis, tides, sharks, whales, and much more, this fun compendium of facts is also an ongoing adventure for the four characters, with plenty of humour and silly jokes throughout. 

It’s a fascinating book to dip into now and again, or read all the way through. The cartoon feature makes an otherwise potentially serious non-fiction book more appealing, and there are also some lovely full colour illustrated spreads that will draw in readers with their vibrancy.
