Publisher Description
Dive in with these fascinating creatures of the sea! Can animals be identified by just one of their distinctive parts? Readers get the chance to find out in this guessing-game picture book. First, they are shown a body part and asked which ocean animal it belongs to. Then, the following spread reveals the whole animal, along with a description of its characteristics — particularly its one-of-a-kind body part — and habitat. From fins to flippers and tentacles to tails, there’s no better introduction to the awesomeness of ocean animals! With bold illustrations and playful fun for all, this book offers a unique look at ocean animals, one body part at a time.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a companion to Dinosaurs from Head to Tail, Roderick constructs an engaging undersea guessing game, posing questions related to the anatomical features of eight aquatic animals ("What ocean animal has a mouth like this?"), followed by the answer and details about how each creature uses said attribute. A large "soccer ball sized" eye belongs to a colossal squid, and a green sea turtle uses its "two front flippers... like paddles, powering the sea turtle forward." Moriya's digitally assembled illustrations resemble crisp cut-paper collages, blending subtly textured and brightly colored shapes to create inviting underwater landscapes. Eight additional animals, including a manatee and lionfish, get shout-outs in a closing spread. Ages 3 7.
