It was very informative they had lots of ways of dealing with the oil spills. the way they treated the animals was great and the methods they used to do that was awesome and the ways they they did it was great yeah

[Dante · Rating 4 out of 5]

I feel bad about the animals . But the oil killed more than 20,000 animals. I think they should secure the pipes better.

it was ok

[Kimberly Caldwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nonfiction - 2010 I was drawn to this book due to the coverage of recent issues and happenings. I also think topics of oil usage and the care of our natural resources is something my third graders could explore with discussions and debates. I was impressed with the inclusion of multiple relevant text features including diagrams, interviews, charts, tables, graphs, and maps. I also think it did a good job of covering multiple aspects of the issue of oil use. This book will easily be put to use in my literacy instruction.

This book touches on disasters in our oceans and the long-lasting effects. This problem is an important one that young students should recognize. After reading this book, students will brainstorm ways we could prevent and help in a situation similar to this recent disaster.
