Ocean Planet

Outstanding Science Trade Book, 2022, National Science Teaching Association

 

Pacific walrus, king penguins, narwhals, great white sharks, squid, seahorses, moray eels, humpback whales, manta rays, orcas, and many more are rendered here in exquisite, dramatic detail. Rothery also includes shore dwellers who depend on the sea: polar bears and otters of course, but also ring-tailed lemurs, Bengal tigers, and British Columbia wolves. Ocean Planet is not only gorgeous but probing and substantive.
