Puffin Little Explorer: The Ocean by Penguin Random House Australia

If your little ones asked you, ‘What is the Ocean?’ what would be your answer? Well, this is the first question in this little book and their answer is … ‘The ocean is what we call the water that fills the space between Earth’s continents.’ It’s a good, thoughtful answer isn’t it, especially for the littlies. We take a look beneath the waves and check out the animals who live there like tiny plankton, fish and blue whales and the marine plants like kelp and seaweed. We’re introduced to big words like microorganisms and biodiversity and read that the ocean is also home to some of Earth’s tallest mountains and even underwater volcanoes!
