This nonfiction book by Donna Latham in the Endangered Biomes series reminds me, in a good way, of the movie FINDING NEMO. The colorful action shots of clown fish, tropical fish, coral reefs, sea turtles, kelp beds, shark, and pelican mixed with the ocean currents,  topography, and how ocean plants and animals adapt bring the reader to a deeper understanding of the ocean biome in just 8 short chapters in 27 pages. Environmental threats to the ocean: climate change, oil spills, and trash, are also discussed. The glossary is well done and matches the glossary word-for-word in Latham’s other book from this series – DESERTS.

One typo on page 13, the word ‘each’ should be ‘eat’.
