Illustrated by
Tom Leonard.
Facts about marine species are featured for almost every letter of the alphabet, from "A is for Atlantic Spotted Dolphin" to "Z is for Ziphius" (q, u, and x are shortchanged). The result is an extended tour of life in and near the oceans, including less-familiar species and their relations. Nicely detailed illustrations of the animals in their habitats help support the text.
