Review Quotes: "An ode to undersea life with visuals that beg to be animated, just as the text begs to be sung." "Berne skillfully traces the origins and evolution of the oceans and oceanic life through poetic rhyming text, sparing readers from excessive jargon while allowing millenia to fly by. The text alone is excellent, but pushing the book into the realm of extraordinary are Hall's enveloping watercolor, gouache, pencil, pastel, and digital illustrations...From the moment readers open this book and see its beautiful, frenetic endpapers, it's clear they are in for a fantastic journey into the depths of the ocean. A first-purchase for all collections." "The rich, rhythmic language of Berne's subaquatic exploration is as powerful as her imposing subject. When the stunning verse is experienced alongside the striking art from Amanda Hall (Out of This World), the reading experience is nothing short of mesmerizing." "Delightful, lilting quatrains appear on each page, complemented by dazzling artwork...An accessible introduction to marine biology, oceanography, earth science, and geology, the book includes an appreciable quantity of educational material....an illuminating, impactful, and inspiring science text for budding ocean-related scientists and natural history enthusiasts." "The rhyming stanzas are impressive, filled with words and cadences that are entertaining to read aloud, and yet also precise in conveying scientific concepts about geological and biological processes...Hall's mixed-media illustrations balance creative use of color and scientific accuracy." Publisher Marketing: ***THREE STARRED REVIEWS***
Berne spent years studying evolution and the undersea world to tell this story with lyrical, rhyming verse that makes it an accessible and intriguing introduction to geology, oceanography, and marine biology. Hall's work was shaped by her own reading, conversations with scientists, and explorations at London's Natural History Museum and Cambridge's Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences. Ideal for STEM/STEAM learning, the book also features comprehensive back matter that includes author's and illustrator's notes, an illustrated timeline, key terms and concepts, recommended reading, and more. Part of Eerdmans' Spectacular STEAM for Curious Readers series. Awards The New York Public Library Best Books for Kids List Review Citations:
