The Pacific Ocean

Informative look at the Pacific Ocean. For example, "The Pacific covers 60 million square miles (155 million square kilometers). It is about 15 times larger than the United States." Includes "fun facts" and topics such as location, climate, depth, animals, plants, and keeping the Pacific Ocean healthy. Colorful but well organized, non-overpowering book design. Illustrations are clear and labeled. Some difficult words are defined on the page and more are listed in a glossary. Also includes a hands on experiment explaining typhoons, a short bibliography, webography, and index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
