Completed 2023-2024 homeschool read aloud

Excellent introduction

I may have learned more than the kiddos, but this was a great curriculum for all of us. Even the preschooler was enthralled. Excellent introduction to aquatic life from a biblical perspective.

This is a great textbook. It's perfect for up to 8th grade. There's lots of great experiments and activities.

Read aloud for homeschool co-op. Overall good info, fairly easy to edit out all the Christian theology while reading aloud.

We liked this book so much more than Flying Creatures. Perhaps because our youngest is crazy about sea animals, or maybe because it was better written. Not sure. The photos are fantastic, the text interesting, the experiments sometimes easy and sometimes so time consuming we just skipped them. A great book for the elementary years. So glad I found it for $.25 at the library sale!

This is a wonderful, wonderful book. I read this book for science and I loved it! I learned SO MUCH about the ocean and things and animals in the ocean. Sometimes I read this to my brothers or sister and they enjoyed it too. I advise EVERYONE to read this book.

My 8 year old daughter who's a 3rd grader, and my 5 year old kindergartner both love this book so much they ask for it every morning! Homeschooling with this science is easy and incredibly fun. Highly recommend!
