![]() ![]() In my house, the pictures have been enjoyed by ages 2 to adult. Each illustration is labeled so that readers can identify the different species shown, and there is a key provided that gives quick facts about each plant or animal. ![]() The endpapers instantly immerse the reader in the world of the ocean and the detailed illustrations inside depict the vast diversity of the creatures who live in it. The pictures are the real draw of this book. All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts, and are not influenced by anyone. It's very attractive and beautifully designed!ĭisclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review. How can I trust what is written in this book if they aren't careful to present the information in the correct way? ![]() If they are misrepresenting one theory, they might be doing it all over the place. It makes me not trust anything else that the book says. And it is dishonest to present a theory and pretend that it is a fact. They write as if evolutionary theories are established empirical facts that have been tested and proven. If only the text said, "One theory about the origin of the universe is. This is so unethical, and it would be so easy to correct. ![]() However, one thing that I really hate in scientific books is when a scientific THEORY is presented as if it were a fact. This would be a great book to use as a reference for a school project, but it is also just fun to read! There are lots of details like how large a particular animal can grow, in what habitat they are found, and what their behavior and habits are like. I really liked that the information is presented with all the scientific names and facts about each type of animal. It really makes this a special book, and it is so attractive to look through each page. I loved the beautiful artwork! The illustrations are colorful and graceful. There are sections all about whales, fish, reptiles, and every type of weird creature you can imagine! If all goes to plan, the Oceanarium should open its doors this Saturday.This book gives a lot of interesting information about the ocean and the animal that live there. Some 64,000 litres of temperate water have been utilized to accommodate these distinguished guests. Over a thousand fishy fellows will live in the Oceanarium, including piranhas, eels and crabs, as well as the star attraction, a shoal of reef sharks from Indonesia. The new Oceanarium is located on Saint Sebastian Street, a grand nineteenth century avenue that links the Old Town with the ancient district of Kazimierz. Nevertheless, those fascinated by the aquatic world will be pleased to know that the biggest Oceanarium in Poland is about to open in Cracow next week (30th October). ''Probably someone released it into the water'' he said, hinting at a disgruntled pet owner. However, Cracovian vet Bogumil Mikolajczyk,was quick to dispel the notion that piranhas had migrated to Poland's less than congenial waters. ''When I saw what grabbed the hook I couldn't believe my eyes'' said local fisherman Bogdan Pietrusak, adding that the Amazonian imp ''bit on a normal worm.'' The recent news that a piranha had been caught in the Vistula River (see Gazeta Wyborcza Wed 11th August) caused a wave of anxiety amongst Krakow's duck population. ![]()
