Wonders of the Ocean Realm (meet five marine creatures)
Wonders of the Ocean Realm is a unique book for children. Not only does it portray five realistic stories of marine creatures, but it’s co-written by two devout Christians (one a marine biologist) to combine their faith with teaching of marine creature welfare.
Suitable for children age 8 to 12, readers will travel from the sun-soaked tidepools of Hawaii to the wide expanse of Atlantic waters to meet:
- Astrid (the vibrant colourful sea star)
- Maximus (a powerful peacock mantis shrimp)
- Dexter (a clever mimic octopus)
- Wendell (a massive humpback whale)
- Luna (a mysterious deep-sea anglerfish)
While enjoying captivating tales, readers will explore each ocean creature’s life cycle, habits and environment. Plus enjoy fascinating scientific truths about God’s incredible underwater world! With stunning colour art on each page, the Deep Sea Dive explores faith themes in each creature’s story.
Throughout the book are ‘ocean notion’ fact boxes:
A sea star doesn’t have a brain like ours. But it has a circle of nerves around its mouth that connect to each of its arms. These nerves help the sea star move and feel what’s happening around it. Each arm has a tiny eye at the end, allowing it to see large objects.
