Book Review - A Great Earth Day Choice - Oceanarium: Welcome to the Museum; Loveday Trinick

Teagan White (Illustrator)
Big Picture Press - April 2022

A new addition to the Welcome to the Museum series , Oceanarium is a timely offering for Earth Day 2022.  This oversized book like the others in the series offers so much information (112 pages) for curious middle grade students (grades 3-7) and adults alike.  The book is filled with detail facts about every aspect of ocean life. The book is written by a marine biologist from England and more than 200 sea creatures are covered in considerable depth.  The illustrations are fabulous and appropriate and they generated a lot of discussion with my 10 year old granddaughter.  One of our favorite sections was was entitled, One Ocean which generated much discussion on humans and the ocean.  I loved that the index and references also included great information for future readings.  This book would make a perfect gift for the curious oceanic explorer in your life. It would also be a wonderful addition to  personal, public and school library collections.




Rating - 5/5 stars
