Summary: What's Under the Sea? (Usborne Starting Point Science)
Review: Like most of the Usborne Science books, each page of this book is packed full of interesting tidbits of information. This particular book introduces a great variety of sea-related subjects, from "What is a fish?" to "Drilling for oil." We have never read it straight through. Each suject it covers leads to more questions that have to be answered and we then go off to read more on a particular subject of interest. I think that this book's strength is in the questions it leads to, rather than in providing complete answers.

Summary: Excellent intro to science and biology
Review: My son finds this book fascinating and it spurs many new questions every time we read it. The text gives just enough specifics to make learning about the ocean interesting without overburdening young readers with detail. It doesn't try to ignore the fact that our oceans are suffering from pollution, yet it doesn't get weighed down with a negative tone.
