What a great book to introduce children to the different (not everyday) sea creatures. It was really smart to use ones with food names. I really liked the Chocolate Chip Starfish, Lettuce Sea Slug and the Sea Apple. Each one has location and description as well as Fast Facts. The photos in the book are vivid and of the actual sea creature. Great way to introduce children different sea life. The food reference will keep children engaged. Ther is also a glossary in the back with words children may not understand. Great for science class or homeschool.

This is a FANTASTIC non-fiction book for early elementary. It is playful yet educational, with wonderful photos of these evocatively=named and fun-looking sea creatures!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

This book Is a huge hit wirh my kiddos. We love the animals, the pictures and the information on each animal!

This book is a long-overdue reminder that education can be playful. I mean, it's been 55 years since I advanced from an elementary school on the shore to a high school on the bayou, the high school being grades 7 to 12.

I smiled at the images and their descriptions, and I learned a lot, too. These fish aren't the ones I know, such as mullet, catfish and snapper. These are exotic and fun to look at.

I'm happy I took the time to install the application I needed to read the book. I can't wait to see it in print and come across more children's books as entertaining as this. It's a gateway for adults to go back to the wonder of children's books.

What's most important is children, the target audience, will love "I See Sea Food." I know a 3-year-old girl and a 7-year boy who might get copies for their birthdays this fall.

Thanks to Lerner Publishing Group and NetGalley for the ARC I received.

I chose this book expecting it to be a children's picture book. It's actually quite a detailed non-fiction children's book.
My eight year old nephew and I had fun looking through the photos and discussing the various sea creatures. He didn't want me to read the larger sections of text out loud, but I was able to pull out details easily so we could discuss the size of the creatures and a few other facts. I think this would be a really fun book to look at again and again, and would definitely work with young children for the fantastic photography to upper primary for the great facts.

This book had me googling to find out if there really is a egg yolk jellyfish ha. I thought this book had a fun and clever concept and was very interesting. It'd be really good for kids aged around 7-11, especially those that love animals or anything under the sea.

See Sea Food: Sea Creatures That Look Like Food by Jenna Grodzicki is a children's non fiction book that is currently scheduled for release on October 1 2019. This book introduces some of the wackiest creatures under the sea—creatures that look like food. Creatures include the egg yolk jellyfish, the lettuce sea slug, the chocolate chip sea star, and many more.

I See Sea Food is a bright and bold book that taught me some interesting facts about creatures I had not heard of before. The photographs are amazing- they are clear and bright. I think the images alone make this book worth picking up. However, the selection of creatures and information shared about each are wonderful as well. I mean, how often do you discover that living creatures named after food use that appearance for defence, or gain their unique coloring by what type of jellyfish they have been snacking on, or breathe through their butt!. I loved the balance of serious information and the fun and wacky. I also appreciate that there is a glossary, quiz, and suggestions for further reading at the end of the book. I love when further engagement and information seeking is encouraged.

I See Sea Food held my attention and taught me something, and I think it will do the same for readers of all ages. A great addition to home, public, or classroom library collections.

Fun nonfiction book for preK-3rd grade. Great photos that can encourage conversation of the youngest children. Nice glossary and question & answer section. I imagine that the sentence that mentions one of the sea creatures breathing through its butt will get the kids a little too silly though.

This was a really fun and short read! I love that the sea creatures chosen were the ones that are unknown by the general population, even I didn't know any besides two! The book includes the picture of the creatures with a short paragraph and a few scientific facts about them.

Overall, I think this would spark interests in children so I definitely recommend it especially in kids that already love sea creatures.

Thank you Netgalley for providing me with the digital copy for an honest review.

This is a really cool book about all the yummy-looking creatures that live in the sea. Now, I'm not talking about fried fish and grilled prawns. I'm talking about some weird and wonderful creatures that just happen to look like different foods that one might find on land. There's a sea slug that looks like lettuce, a jellyfish that looks like cauliflower, and even a sea star that looks like it's studded with chocolate chips!

The book makes excellent use of stock photos for its illustrations. For each creature, there's a nice picture, a little write-up, and a box full of stats and interesting facts.

Kids who are interested in marine biology are going to love this, but it might have appeal to curious kids in general. I quite enjoyed it, even at my age. (Is it wrong that I find it hilarious that sea apples breathe through their butts?)

This book looks like a fantastic concept. My children (almost 2 and 4) are always comparing different things to animals and random objects so this would be right up their alley. However this isn’t compatible with my kindle and I’m unable to open the pdf in any programs so I can’t give it an actual just review unfortunately. My star rating is based purely on concept.

I loved this book. Great illustrations, good information. I read it with my grade 1 kid and she had a little bit of trouble with some of the words, but loved this pictures.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.

Fun and informative, this nonfiction title will appeal to animal lovers who like a few laughs with their facts. The primary text (on creatures like pineapple fish, egg yolk jellies, and lettuce sea slugs) is playful and complemented by attractive photographs. Additional text provides a list of fast facts (size, range, habitat, etc.).

In a classroom this title would be perfect for launching a language arts lesson on figurative language, a science unit on the adaptations, or a research project that integrates science and language arts.

A slight, but very commendable, book. Normally primers are books that guide a very young reader into thinking about one person, period or subject, that they can then mature with. This is a little different, for it is a primer for things in the sea that look like foodstuffs. So where can you take that, other than actually go down in a submersible and look for more, I ask you? Still, this is a fun little read, featuring as it does lifeforms with no brains (nor blood), creatures that breathe with their anuses, and more. Oh, and all look sort of like lettuce, cauliflowers, pizza crust, chubby bananas and so on. The cynical adult will see the list of many real names for these creatures, and imagine that the food-comparison one is way down the list, and all the more serious ones are much more commonly used, but heck. The target audience for this will gain little insight into the actual life-cycle of our seas, and nothing about evolution (a page on that could have come in handy here, to discuss why these individual critters adapted thusly) – but will have fun. If they're still at the stuffing-everything-in-their-gobs stage (and they won't be much beyond that when turning to this) they'll have a strong connection with these wacky contents.

I thought that this book was excellent, the images are stunning.
I had heard of a few of these animals but I as learning something as an adult on nearly every page.
My daughter is only a toddler but she loved the pictures and it was a hit with her.
It is 5 stars from me for this one, very highly recommended!!
