Amazing Creatures of the Gulf of Mexico was a quick and cute read for kids, with simple, easy to remember facts.

I think young kids would enjoy this, especially kids currently obsessed with the ocean. The information is easily digestible and the photos are great!

My niece and nephew were visiting from Florida and instead of letting them mindlessly watch TV, we read this on my iPad.
Being Floridians, they found it very interesting and even as someone who grew up in Florida, I learned a few things!
This was both entertaining and educational.

My fact loving 7 year old really enjoyed this book, even though she’s not typically a shark lover. The pictures were clear and helpful, and the facts were right on her level. This is a book I’d buy for a 7-10 year old kid who liked sharks/water creatures.
