About Marine Mammals is a beautifully illustrated and educational book, perfect for school libraries. Or if you have a curious child who enjoys learning about the ocean, About Marine Mammals is a great learning experience you and your child can enjoy together. Each page is filled with colorful images and interesting facts, but young readers will find this is not a text heavy book. Suitable for children who prefer to learn visually. However informative the text is, it does come off a bit bland. A little more personality might appeal to young readers who don’t normally like to read. Otherwise, I found About Marine Mammals enjoyable and educational—perfect for the science classroom.
I would recommend this book for school libraries as well as for young children to read with their parents or teachers.
