A pretty little book that my small local OK library has in hardcover for some reason. It should be in the travel section, I think, as we're inland.... In any case, very random, like a scrapbook. And at one point there's a shrimp recipe, and at another point it says don't eat shrimp because it's badly overfished. Ack.

This was a fun read all centered around the ocean. Starting with poems, unusual travel destination tips, fun facts, crafts, activity ideas and some recipes. While the book had a lot of photographs I still wished for more. I ended up googling some of the described animals or destinations.
