A survey of ocean habitats and their wildlife

Organized around four habitat types—open oceans, coral reefs, underwater forests, and the deep sea—this illustrated guide visits ten marine environments, from the Red Sea to the Southern Ocean. Its scope joins geography with the plants and animals found in each place, using photographs, illustrations, and selected facts to introduce both familiar and lesser-known habitats. The book also addresses threats to oceans and the species that live there, adding environmental concerns to its account of marine life. As part of the Habitats series, it places ocean ecosystems within a wider exploration of the natural environments of the world.

From the deepest known sea trench on Earth to the underwater forests that make their home in the Pacific Ocean, discover 10 of the world's most spectacular ocean habitats, and the animals and plants that live in them in this beautiful gift book for children.

This fascinating book on oceans offers:
  • The second in a series of 4 books that takes children on a grand tour around the different habitats of the world.
  • Everything you could want to know about habitats; the animals and plants that live there, the geography of the area, and plenty of incredible facts
  • A giftable book with foil on the cover and edges, plus beautiful illustrations and photographs on every page.

The chapters in this exciting anthology cover four different types of ocean habitat: open oceans, coral reefs, underwater forests, and the deep sea, with a selection of both famous and lesser-known places explored. Every marine environment is examined in detail, with intriguing information about its geography, and flora and fauna alongside detailed photography and beautiful illustrations.

Children can marvel at fire coral in the Red Sea, sea spiders that thrive in the ghostly quiet of the Southern Ocean, and sea anemones that can live forever. As well as the wonders of these places, the threats facing oceans and their species are also investigated.
