Having been kindly granted a complimentary copy of "Fun With Ocean and Seas" by NetGalley, I am delighted to share my honest thoughts and experiences regarding this engaging and educational book.

The 'crack the code' activities within the book were well received by my five-year-old daughter. These activities served as a beneficial tool for her to practice and enhance her emerging reading skills, particularly in terms of letter recognition and pronunciation of unfamiliar words. Although the book primarily targets readers within the 4th to 6th grade range, it nevertheless presents avenues for enjoyment and learning for younger children.

As a resource for a homeschooling educator, the potential uses of "Fun With Ocean and Seas" within ocean-themed unit studies are abundant. The book traverses beyond the basic understanding of oceans, delving into a vast array of marine life. This broad coverage is likely to captivate a child's interest, igniting their curiosity and enhancing their knowledge about the diverse inhabitants of the underwater world. Its versatile content thus serves as an engaging educational tool, making learning a fun-filled and enlightening journey.

One point to note, however, is that "Fun With Ocean and Seas" seems to cater more towards independent readers. While its content is highly educational and engaging, the structure and level of complexity might be more suitable for those who are comfortable reading on their own. Regardless, with a little assistance, the book still offers a wealth of knowledge for younger, emerging readers.

I read this book with my nephew. He really enjoyed all of the quizzes and all the illustrations. This book would be great for teachers. Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

As a teacher and a mother of two, I am always on the hunt for fun and educational books. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book was so cute and colorful. I would recommend getting the physical copy of this book for you and your littles ones to do together. The information in this book is perfect for kids and the pictures are bight and colorful which captured my little ones attentions. I will defensively be picking up a few copies of these for my classroom!

The illustrations in this book are cute and there are a lot of interesting facts and activities. But page 13 says "Scientists believe life started at the bottom of the ocean, billions of years ago." The truth is that SOME scientists believe that life started without a lot of the necessary things for life at the bottom of the ocean. Why not teach our kids to ask questions, use logic, and make sense of creation theories? Random life beginning without a cause is pretty illogical.

Lots of nice quizzes and cute pictures for children to work with. Information on oceans are conveyed nicely. I'm sure this will hep build children's love for nature and sciences. Thank you very much for sending me this e-ARC.
