I found myself reading through the whole book in a single sitting, and I can’t wait to order a hard copy to do the activities with the kids in my life.” —Sara MacSorley, author of Super Cool Scientists   “The geographic nature of this book is alluring, challenging, and fun. It is well conceived by the author and artist to present Planet Ocean as an exciting and critical feature of our world, one that future generations must learn about and become involved with to protect and nurture it. Simply put: this is a great introduction to becoming an ocean explorer!” —Roger Hanlon, senior scientist, Marine Biological Laboratory   “The global ocean is a wonderful gateway for children in this (6−10) age range to develop a love of and curiosity about the vastness and wonders of our natural world. Emily Greenhalgh and Candela Ferrández have created a highly educational and interactive activity book that will help readers learn about the geography, history, and living creatures of our ‘blue planet’ while having a load of fun in the process. Bravo for this unique and wonderfully engaging contribution that can serve as a tool for educators and a vacation companion for families alike.” —John Mandelman, chief scientist, Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium
