Grade 4-7–This book is indeed about the oceans, but its title may be misleading to readers expecting a lot of maps. It presents a good overview of the origins and workings of these ecosystems and examines some of the unique characteristics and features of the five oceans and the five major seas. Marine inhabitants and their activities are included as are humankind's effects on these fragile resources. A section of facts, records, small maps, and activities is appended. The page design consists of a paragraph of text and several captions identifying the items in the colorful illustrations. Each spread also contains a box with an interesting fact. The background of many pages is dark blue or gray, which accurately depicts the illumination at a certain depth of the ocean, but tends to make the captions difficult to read. The illustrations are eye-catching and appealing for browsing. The organization and factual approach make the title useful for reports.–Elizabeth Stumpf, Clearfield Middle School, PA
