Shimmer & Splash: The Sparkling World of Sea Life

What can you see in the deep blue sea? Dolphins, stingrays, men o’ war, and more! In Shimmer and Splash, acclaimed author and artist Jim Arnosky—whose award-winning nature books delight children, parents, and teachers alike—captures the endless variety of spectacular marine species. From the beautiful (starfish, coral reefs) to the scary (sharks, barracudas) to the yucky (jellyfish), these undersea inhabitants will amaze kids…especially in the seven fantastic gatefolds!

Interesting facts like why a puffer swells up like a balloon, how sharks locate prey in the darkness, and why some fish like to swim in the shadows of a manatee are explained.  The illustrations are phenominal too!  This is definately one of those fun learning books that your kids won’t even realize how many new facts they have learned.  It is written so the kids are just having fun.  It’s a pretty good read for adults too!

With over 200 marine species beautifully illustrated with descriptions, facts, and stories, Shimmer & Splash: The Sparkling World of Sea Life is perfect for the marine-biologist-in-training or anyone who is fascinated by the creatures of the sea!
