Water covers 75% of the Earth, yet we don't know a whole lot about the oceans. Humans have only been to the bottom of the ocean twice and for a very short time because of the pressure and darkness. This book tells a little about what we do know about the oceans, including ocean birds, fish, and plant life. The ocean is a delicate balance with a lot of creatures that can help to maintain that balance. A lot of the sea creatures can be kept at home, like a gorgeous blue starfish, but it would be pretty costly to do so. The book reminds you of how important each creature is to the ecosystem as well as a little bit about their lifestyles, like where they like to live or what they like to eat. There are even sharks that don't eat anything more than simple plankton, yet they look so scary! You can even learn a little bit about snorkeling and scuba diving, so if you're planning on doing that any time soon, this book is perfect to learn about the creatures that you might end up seeing.
