Kids are going to eat this book up. It has amazingly cute illustrations. The book is broken down into easy to understand sections, with info bits that are the perfect size for young readers or listeners. When the book talks about the sea, they talk about above the ocean, below the ocean, and everything in between. It makes for a nicely rounded resource. I do have one question I need answered. Is a Dugong the same as a Manatee? They are both called Sea Cows?
