Aquaman's Guide to the Oceans

If your child's idea of enjoying the ocean is eating fish sticks, this book introduces oceanography with the help of Aquaman. We recommend the DK Readers series. Our sons -- ages 5 and 4 -- really enjoy reading about superheroes, so we use that interest to introduce them to other topics (see my listmania list and other reviews). Each of these books offers several graphics on each page. The information is arranged in brief chapters with lots of USA Today-style sidebars. We also have the "I Can Read" books for young readers which we use for bedtime reading. The Level 4 books are more difficult and are better shared a few pages at a time. These make a great spring board for weekend science projects and activities.
