.For any child who is developing an interest in the marine life sciences this is the book for them."Under the Sea" is well structured and logically laid out. It starts with the physical environment of the oceans. The main part of the book is a systematic coverage of the various marine environments that are classified according to their depth and temperature. . The characteristic biotas that occupy each ecological niche are well described.Some readers may find this approach formulaic but a rigorous scientific methodology is necessary if the information it contains is to be comprehensible and of real value.The illustrations accompanying the text are bright, accurate but definitely not garish. The pictures and their captions provide good support to the text.This book is an ideal companion to another book by the "Nature Company Discoveries" title "Mammals" which is edited by George McKay This book provides an ideal launching pad for those children who are keen to learn about the natural world.

This book is very educational, no matter how old you are. I am a student at UWF and I used this book as part of my sea life lesson plan. The children loved looking at the bright illustrations. I recommend it to everyone.
