“Equally suitable for quick dips or lengthy dives, this gallery of ocean dwellers will attract schools of newly fledged readers.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“A delightful, age-appropriate introduction to ocean creatures big and small.” –Children’s Book Council

“What a fun book this is for young readers…Some of the animals will be quite familiar, others less so, but all of them will be popular reads.” –Booklist

"Vivid, high quality photographs accompany the descriptions of animals, and questions encourage readers to make connections between their experiences and the text."—Library Media Connection
