A cute book to introduce young children to the ocean. Filled with sea animals and how to protect the ocean, I will definitely add this book to my elementary school library!

We love all Charlotte Milner books and this one did not disappoint. My daughter was so excited when I said we were reading a book like The Bee Book we had previously read. We find them interactive and a perfect addition to our homeschool studies. The illustrations are amazing and enhance the words. A book that teaches and is also fun to look at is a bonus for small children.

I love this book! I cannot wait to share with my class. My children and I both enjoyed reading this one.

For it's relatively short length, this book covers a surprising number of topics. None of them in any depth, of course, but it also doesn't talk down to the reader. It uses age appropriate vocabulary but not a condescending tone. A solid introduction to ocean science.

'The Sea Book' by Charlotte Milner is a picture book filled with facts about the ocean.

This book discusses the different habitats of the ocean and the many types of creatures that live in each of them. From the different layers of the ocean, to coral reefs, and the frozen waters. Along with learning about these places and creatures, the reader will learn what kinds of things threaten sealife and coral reefs. Action steps for young readers as well as a fun project to create a reusable shopping bag are inlcuded.

This book has beautiful design and pictures. The information is in nice bite-sized pieces and easy to read and understand.

I received a review copy of this ebook from DK Children and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

The Sea Book helps you learn all about, what else? The sea! It shows what the bottom of the sea looks like and tells us why the sea is important and then goes into what lives in the sea. Of course there are plenty of fish in the sea - and it tells about some of the things that fish can do and some of the traits that fish in the sea have. It also talks about other mammals and animals in the sea, and even the life cycle of a sea turtle. The end of the book talks about some man made problems with the sea and how you can help. This book is pretty short, but is jam-packed with a TON of great information about the sea and some beautiful illustrations as well!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated. This book was published February 5th from DK Children.

The Sea Book explores the importance of the sea/ocean, animals that live there, and what is happening to our bodies of water. The illustrations and text features alongside the text make this book a fun yet informative book. This book is a great way to introduce students to the oceans and incorporate science into the classroom.

The Sea Book by Charlotte Milner is a must have juvenile nonfiction title about our oceans for every library. With eye-catching and easy to read illustrations and diagrams, kids will pour over each page. Not too advanced or too simple, readers from a range of young to middle readers can find worthwhile subject matter here. What is a stand out compared to the many other Sea/Ocean nonfiction titles, is the layout and design as well as the timely chapters on our changing sea and plastic problems. With helpful tips and ideas on how readers can make a difference and help save the oceans, the Sea Book is both well done and will be popular. A librarians dream!

The Sea Book by Charlotte Milner is a nonfiction book currently scheduled for release on February 5 2019. This book explores a wealth of incredible marine animals and their habitats, from up on the ice, down to colorful coral reefs, underwater forests, and right down to the deepest darkest depths where the weird and wonderful lurk. Milner highlights to children important ecological issues faced by our planet, this time with a focus on marine life and the damaging effects humans are having on our seas. Children will discover what they can do to help, and there are tips on how to live plastic-free. Children will even get to craft their own recycled shopping bag.

The Sea Book is an informative book. I like that it offers information on the levels of the ocean, and the differences between the depths as well as the creatures that live there. Understanding the creatures in a habitat is an important first step. I liked that there was a wide variety of information, creatures from different parts of the ocean and shore, as well as the different classifications of animals. I learned a few things, and had information I was already aware of reinforced. I liked the artwork and spacing of the information, it made each page eye catching and accessible to a wide variety of readers. I found the ideas for readers to make changes to help the ocean to be perfect for the target audience. The changes, like using less plastic and making sure the seafood we are eating is sustainable, are important but easy enough for even busy families to do. I also like that there is a craft involved, to help readers feel more empowered and able to make a change.

The Sea Book is a solid nonfiction book that can lay the groundwork for budding marine biologists and environmentalists. It is accessible, interesting, and engaging.

The Sea Book is a spectacular book for introducing children to our oceans. The beautiful illustrations show our oceans are home to such a variety of living things. The book takes you through various living conditions in the ocean and at the end of the book discusses the problems our oceans are facing, wrapping up with a call to action on how to help save our oceans.
This book has tons of sea animal facts that I absolutely love to read! Here is one on my favorite sea animals, the Gray Whale. Gray Whales travel 10,000 miles a year, which is THE longest migration trip of any mammal. I love it!
I would love to have this book for my library. I think it make a great addition for any classroom or homeschooling family as well.
Thank you so much to DK and NetGalley for this advanced copy, my opinions are my own.
This will feature on my blog Sunday December 16, 2018.

I read this soon-to-be-released book with my 7 year-old daughter and we both really enjoyed it. The artwork is absolutely gorgeous and it's filled with just the right amount of information to really teach children a lot and also keep their attention. There is a ton of information about oceans and sea life in all different aspects. At the end, there's a no-sew project to make a reusable bag out of a t-shirt (to encourage using reusable bags and not plastic bags, which so frequently end up in the oceans) and we did the project together. The bag looks great and she loved making it. Best of all, she learned a lot and was really excited about all that she learned and looking after the oceans.

Thanks to Net Galley for an advanced copy of Sea Book. The book is a wonderful resource for browers and for students looking to narrow down choices when looking to do further research. The book is rich with facts and despite it being a children's book, I found myself commenting out loud more than once, "wow, I didn't know that." It's a great fit for those students who will read each and every bubble fact and for those students who gather a few facts and move on. Lots of great information.

I received and arc from Netgalley for an honest review. Another great book from DK about the sea and what lives in it. Lots of great information, pictures and ideas on how we can help sea creatures.

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?

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This colorful picture book breaks down life under the ocean in simple terms that children will understand. It provides interesting facts in small block of text. Any child interested in learning more about the ocean will enjoy it.

This is a wonderful book for children to introduce them to the ocean and the creatures that live it in. It is gorgeously illustrated and very informative.

This book is a wonderful way for children to learn about the sea and sealife. It is illustrated with pictures and details of all types of fish, and mammals. It explains the different areas of the sea and what can be found there. I like it has a ways you can help section to keep the seas clean and how to make a t-shirt grocery bag. Children and adults can learn from this book. I recommend it for age 5+.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really enjoyed Charlotte Milner's The Bee Book, and even based a homeschool summer science unit around it. So I was happy for the chance to review The Sea Book, another installment (rhyming, even!) from the same author/illustrator.

Like the previous book, this one features clear designs and colorful illustrations (with lots of blue, of course), and begins with the big picture of the oceans on our planet, and then "zooms in" to look at specific areas and ecosystems (such as coral reefs, kelp forests, and the arctic), as well many examples of the types of sea creatures that inhabit them. The blocks of text are fairly short and concise, but there are enough pages here that this would probably be best read in multiple sittings, at least if read to young children.

The last few pages focus on the problem of plastic trash in the ocean, and give some ideas for how we can help keep our planet clean. There is also a tutorial for how to make a reusable shopping bag out of an old T-shirt! I like how this section seems to flow in a straightforward manner from the rest of the book and takes the problem seriously without coming across as heavy-handed.

I think this one will be a great addition to our homeschool library as well.

(Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy.)

This is a great book to introduce concepts related to the sea, its animals, habitats, and more. With an easy to read format the sea will become accessible to more.
