This well-organized picture book explores the diversity of the world’s oceans by concentrating on the busy, crowded tropical zones ("the city") and the temperate zones that have a slower rhythm of life ("the country"). Topics covered include "Living Space," "Working Together," and "Secrets of Survival." Close-up underwater photographs of fish and sea creatures are both delightful and haunting. Reading list. Glos.
