Chris says 'Marine creatures don't always receive the attention of their 'landlubber' counterparts' but his engaging and often hilarious writing style turns an animal which at first appears ordinary into the extraordinary! For instance, did you know that the father seahorse gives birth to the babies and keeps the young a pouch, just like a kangaroo Or, amazingly, that the venomous blue-ringed octopus has a beak it its mouth just like your pet budgie, only with a toxic saliva sting! Or that half the planet's oxygen, which is essential for our survival, is derived from the likes of macro algae in the world's oceans Packed with stunning images the book is suitable for both younger and older children. The information ties in neatly with the school curriculum, and the use of fun and engaging scientific language and stunning images will encourage your 'animal-mad' child to read the book again and again.…
