Offers a close-up view of shoreline ecosystems, with clear, black-and-white illustrations. Reading level is 5-8th grades with a great deal of information on each page. A glossary is at the back of the book. The book introduces the reader to many marine creatures, both familiar and less well known.

There are very little illustrations in the book that may lack the attention of a third grader. The cover is very colorful, and definitely will catch the attention of a younger audience, but as you begin to read, there are more “real” people than illustrations. A happy medium would maybe seem more enticing. I started to feel midway through the book, that information was just being regurgitated.… (mais)
