The Sea: Exploring Life on an Ocean Planet

(3) 4-6 Adapted by Robert Burleigh. Illustrated by Emmanuel Cerisier. Photographs by Philip Plisson. This well-designed book functions primarily as an album showcasing Plisson's exquisite photos of surfers, anglers, sailors, boats, ports, stormy seas, lighthouses, and coastlines. Spreads feature images as diverse as a shipwreck, a scuba diver, a boat race, and a young child playing on the beach. The coherent explanatory text incorporates science, geography, and history into the mix.
