Love the surreal and spooky art to learn about fascinating sea creatures. The words and illustrations are a really inventive way to present information on these odd and wonderful creatures -- love the life and fold. Will be recommending this book and glad to have in at part of my J non-fiction collection ( ) I always love it when a nonfiction book is riveting and I enjoy every word. This is such a book. The author does a good job of giving the sea creatures personalities; they are shy or sneaky or cooperative, etc.. The author uses similes and metaphors that create vivid images and the illustrator did an amazing job illustrating those. The hairy frogfish looks like a "tiptoeing rock wearing a wig". Readers get to see the simile first and then the real creature after opening a flap. We learn detailed facts in sidebars and general descriptions in the text. The author did a fantastic job of choosing sea creatures that are uncommon and fascinating. The strangest thing in the sea at the end makes perfect sense. My favorite sea creature was the barreleye fish because you can see inside its head. In the end, there is an image that shows ocean depths and where to find each creature. This is a brilliant nonfiction book about sea creatures. The Strangest Thing in the Sea: and other Curious Creatures of the Deep by Rachel Poliquin, Byron Eggenschwiler (Illustrations) Wow, kids will love this book! I loved this book! It has the most beautiful and creative art! The book starts by asking the reader a strange question about an animal. Asking the reader then to guess what the animal is. The next picture shows a silly guess. Then it shows the real animal and gives a lot of very strange information about that bizarre creature. It goes on like this through all the animals! They are sure strange too! Something out of a sci-fi novel if you didn't know they were real! Lol! In the end, the depths of the oceans are shown (in beautiful artwork) and where each of these bizarre creatures live. It also gives other amazing trivial knowledge of the oceans depths! Interesting, educational, and intriguing! Definitely a book kids will look at over and over again! I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read about these exotic and strange creatures of the deep! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
