Dive into the wonderful world under the sea with Sea Creatures, a gorgeous informational picture book from award-winning science writer Seymour Simon! This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share during homeschooling, in particular for children ages 6 to 8. It’s a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.

Ranging from tiny single-celled creatures to the larger-than-life whales, the ocean is filled with life. Some sea animals live in the darkest depths of the ocean, while others live close to sunlight. From camouflage to way of communicating to existing symbiotically, sea creatures are some of the most adaptable animals on Earth.

With clear, simple text and stunning full-color photographs, readers will explore the deep blue sea and meet all types of aquatic friends.

This book includes an author's note, a glossary, and an index and supports the Common Core State Standards.


Join Seymour Simon on an underwater expedition to discover the amazing science of the sea:


  • Marine Biology for Kids: A perfect first look at the science of the ocean, from the tiny phytoplankton that form the base of the food chain to the gigantic blue whale.
  • Deep Sea Creatures: Journey to the midnight zone to meet the strange and mysterious animals that live in total darkness, like the glowing anglerfish and the giant isopod.
  • Animal Symbiosis: Learn how clown fish hide safely in sea anemones and how tiny shrimp help keep big fish clean in amazing underwater partnerships.
  • Stunning Photography: See the ocean’s inhabitants up close with brilliant, full-color photos on every page that make learning visual and exciting.
  • Classroom and Homeschool Ready: Supports Common Core standards with a glossary, index, and author’s note, making it a trusted resource for young readers and educators.
