A stunning visual encyclopedia for kids, packed with stunning photography and amazing facts on every aspect of ocean life.

DK’s Visual Encyclopedias are the first substantial series of encyclopedias aimed at young children, designed to excite and entertain, while offering a comprehensive overview of core subjects.

I can always count on DK Publishing to provide amazing books that both my kids and myself will read and enjoy over and over.

This reference book, Ocean: A Visual Encyclopedia, by John Woodward is one of the best Ocean related books that I have come across. It is broken into seven colour-coded sections including Atlas of the Oceans, Blue Planet, The Open Ocean, Shallow Seas, Coast and Seashore, Polar Seas, and Oceans and Us.

Each section includes page after page of vibrantly alive photos and engaging illustrations accompanied by plentiful facts that will surprise even most adults. It’s truly a beautiful book that presents even the most complicated subjects in an easy to understand way.
