Summary

Seasons change in the ocean much as they do on land. Spring brings new plants and baby animals, summer oceans glow with sparkly plankton lights, and autumn winds blow across the open water. In winter the humpback whales migrate to warmer waters, just as some land animals move to warmer climates. The cycle begins again as they return to the northern waters in the spring. In fun, fanciful form, Ocean Seasons introduces plants and animals that are joined through the mix of seasons, food webs, and habitats beneath the waves. While set in the Pacific, similar changes occur in the Atlantic also. 2008 ForeWord Book of the Year Award finalist (ForeWord Magazine) 2008 Florida Publishers Association Best Picture Book Finalist, Bank Street 2008 ¿Best Children¿s Books of the Year¿ selection, 2008 Florida Recommended Summer Reading List Reviewed by: ForeWord, Science Books & Films, School Library Journal, National Wildlife Federation¿s Your Big Backyard Magazine, The Horn Book Guide, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine 4-6 pg For Creative Minds educational section in the back 40-60 pg cross-curricular Teaching Activities and 3 Interactive Quizzes available free on the book¿s homepage eBooks with Auto-Flip, Auto-Read and selectable English and Spanish text and audio
