A tour of ocean life, from reefs to the deep sea

Organized around both animal groups and underwater habitats, this illustrated nonfiction book introduces how sea creatures breathe and survive, then turns to turtles, whales, sharks, stingrays, seahorses, and other marine life. Coral reefs and the deep-sea bed provide settings for exploring how varied ocean environments are. The book also shifts from identification to practical topics: spotting creatures at the beach, learning about animals in danger, and ways to help protect sea life. Its combination of creature profiles, habitat exploration, and conservation themes gives young readers several routes into learning about the ocean.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 4–8 curious about marine animals and ocean habitats
  • Young readers who enjoy illustrated nonfiction and animal facts
  • Families seeking a child-friendly introduction to sea-life conservation

Book overview

Following the wild success of The Big Book of Bugs and The Big Book of Beasts, The Big Book of the Blue is the third installment in Yuval Zommer's beloved series. Alongside everything the young oceanographer needs to know, Zommer's charming illustrations bring to life some of the slipperiest, scaliest, strangest, and most monstrous underwater animals.

The book opens by explaining how different types of animals are able to breathe and survive underwater, and the different families to which they belong. Subsequent pages are dedicated to specific creatures, including sea turtles, whales, sharks, stingrays, and seahorses, and show varied life in specific habitats, such as a coral reef or deep sea bed. The Big Book of the Blue also explores the underwater world thematically, looking at animals in danger, learning how to spot creatures at the beach, and discovering how to do our part to save sea life. Beautiful and filled with fascinating facts, young, curious readers won't be able to tear their eyes away from the page.
