| Publisher Description: A classroom favorite and simple first look at oceans from Cathryn and John Sill, creators of the award-winning About Habitats and About... series. "A lovely primer on Earth's largest habitat." ―Scholastic Parent and Child Magazine In simple, easy-to-understand language, former educator and author Cathryn Sill teaches children what oceans are, what kinds of animals and plants live there and how they survive, and why oceans are important. Noted wildlife illustrator John Sill offers beautifully detailed paintings that depict the characteristics of different types of oceans--from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean--and how different species have adapted. A glossary and afterword provide readers with further details. Ideal for casual exploration or for early childhood and elementary science units. The About Habitats series introduces children to specific habitats and their living and nonliving components. Each book in the series provides information about the nature and characteristics of the habitat while the full-page illustrations expand on that information.
