Kids will be delighted as they see mackerels racing on a racetrack, sardines filling the Ferris wheel cabins, and manta rays offering a joyful ride for tired guests. Along the way, young readers will discover fun facts about the diverse animals of the deep sea, and the fold-out map adds to the interactive adventure.
Perfect for young readers aged 3-6, this book combines educational content with vibrant illustrations, turning learning into a fun and engaging experience. With a creative and imaginative approach to exploring marine life, it’s an excellent tool for fostering curiosity about the natural world. The fold-out map enhances the interactive element, making it a must-have for any young reader eager to dive into the wonders of the ocean.
"Gr 3-5–The underwater world reveals its wonders in this nonfiction text that uses an amusement park theme to guide readers through several layers of underwater life, sharing information about seahorses, sharks, and sea cucumbers. At the “dino park,” ¬readers discover fossils and animals that have not changed appearance in millions of years. The “grand feast” section explores ¬predators under the sea as well as plankton that feed many whales. The text uses captions to help readers learn about specific animal and plant life. It features vocabulary words like snooty and radiant, and readers will appreciate the informal tone mixed with the advanced learning of ecosystems. Structurally, this text works perfectly for dipping into and out of at leisure, rather than reading cover to cover. VERDICT While the vocabulary and illustrations are detailed, not all ¬animal and plant life in each amusement park attraction are fully described, but that may serve as a positive way to introduce readers to underwater ecosystems that ¬warrant ¬further ¬exploration." —Tracey S. Hodges, School Library Journal
"The art in this book was stunning. The amount of details the illustrator put in to both the amusement park and the underwater animals were stunning. Clear cut lines and vivid colors draw a reader’s attention. The realistically drawn animals allow for children to identify the creatures being spoken about. The blend of the amusement park and the educational information was fun. It kept the book exciting. It also provided a lot of stunning illustrations and details in both the foreground and background. The writer and illustrator put in effort to categorize the animals in ways that fit together. While this book can be charming on its own, the added non-fiction popups also provide an educational twist for children or parents who may wish for more than just cute visuals." —Evren Dodd, YA Books Central
