My 2-year-old daughter loves fish, so I took the opportunity to read this cute little book all about tropical fish!
The author's own photographs are unique and beautiful and give an authentic feel to the book. My daughter enjoyed looking at the variety of fish. This would make a great addition to a home library or a classroom for children of any age!
*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Lol cute little book with lots of facts, learned a lot!
All Fish Faces: Photos and Fun Facts about Tropical Reef Fish by Tam Warner Minton is a collection of tropical reef fish faces. Some fierce, some fun, but all a joy for fish fans young and old. Colorful photography — including names of every fish featured — creates a colorful dive log worth experiencing again and again. Introducing kids and their families to our ocean friends will create a generation of excited, enthusiastic, and caring ocean lovers who care deeply about marine life. Who knows? Maybe it will encourage future scientists and conservationists! It includes ocean and marine life education and tips on how kids, and everyone they know, can help save our ocean friends. 10% of profits will go to the Marine Megafauna Foundation to continue their scientific research to protect our oceans and ocean giants.
All Fish Faces: Photos and Fun Facts about Tropical Reef Fish is a visually and informational interesting book for all ages. I found that the photographs were high quality and worth looking through the book all by themselves. I liked that each picture is also clearly labeled and that the accompanying information boxes were well written and chosen for the audience. I learned quite a bit, as I love learning about animals of all kinds, but fish seem to be one of my weak spots. I think the formatting and color choices on each page are attention grabbing and are likely to keep the interest of even the most distracted readers.

Impressions: I liked this book but the title was not fitting for all that this book included. It is much more then just fish faces. It was really a great introductory book for a scientific look at fish in the ocean.
Liked: This was the perfect book for my boys and I as we are studying zoology this year in science. Right now we’re working on the ocean and this book was a perfect addition to our curriculum. The book was full of information but not too much as to be overwhelming.
Disliked: I really liked this book and didn’t find anything to dislike. For improvements sake in the beginning I would have made a column or Venn diagram perhaps of the similarities and differences of Mammals and Fish. Something else to add would be perhaps the taxonomy of fish. Since fish and mammals are in the same kingdom of taxonomy it would be good to see where they split on the taxonomy tree and why.
Learned: We learned many fun facts about fish! Additionally there was a short section to discuss how to conserve our oceans.

A very neat and vibrant reference book for children! This book features stunning photographs of unique fish. This will be a great introduction to the variety of tropical reef fish.
TWM Publishing and NetGalley for providing this ARC.
This book is really cool! It doubles as a funny and entertaining real, as well as educational. The facts and imagery are top notch. I like nonfiction that is able to also keep your interest. This book would be good for a child on their own or group reading
This is the second book that I have read by this author, as I actually read the follow up to this one first. I liked that the book is personal to the author and she was able to give the details of some of her encounters. The images are not always the greatest but that works for the book as they are the images that the author took and actually give the book a more authentic appeal as they are not posed as such or taken by a professional, more that they are taken by someone with a real passion – it is 4 stars from me for this one – highly recommended!
This is a wonderful children's picture book, with beautiful photographs and a lot of useful educational information on different kinds of fish from all over the world. I really enjoyed reading this book with my daughter and we both learned a lot about fish. She had fun looking at the photos and some of the fish looked funny to her. Fish are interesting beings and I was amazed at the many different types of fish there are out there. It was also interesting to see all the different colours of fish and their different markings and methods of self preservation. This would be a great book for a classroom.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
All Fish Faces is a fun book that shows the difference in fish from different oceans. The pictures are colorful and the faces on the fish are engaging.
This book is packed full of facts and beautiful pictures of fish found around the world. This would definitely add to anyone's nonfiction section for home or the classroom.
My sons and I both simply loved this little fish book! It is packed with beautiful photographs of some of the most interesting tropical fish. Not only are the photographs provided bright and eye catching there are plenty of fish facts included.
Kids of all ages will enjoy and learn from this little book. Great addition to the science classroom or for any budding fish enthusiast.

Even though this book is mostly aimed at children, I love tropical fish and so I eagerly took the opportunity to read and review the book.
Great information, both about the fish and about how climate change and the releasing of non-natives to the areas can cause such devastation to local fish populations.
Beautiful photography! Shooting underwater is no easy feat, so seeing such clear and colorful photos in this book was a true treat! Unfortunately, the background colors on some of the pages took away from the photos.
Overall, 4/5 stars for a job well done!
