New ed. (2018, Purple Toad)
(4) K-3 Magnificent Creatures series. Readers will learn about the dumbo octopus, blue sea stars, and giant clams, among many other animals of the Pacific in this entry (a revised version of Water Planet: Life in the Pacific Ocean). Orr also gives information about the ocean itself including its average depth. Some challenging words (endangered and tentacle) are spelled out phonetically, but others (Galápagos) are not. The text is enhanced by vibrant nature photography. The shot of the humphead wrasse is particularly impressive. Sources for additional information and a glossary are appended.
