The photography in this book presents young readers with a foundation for learning basic counting skills. The marine life captured on each page portrays children's favorite animals along with lively and thought-provoking information about each creature. The book begins with an interactive map, as well as a brief and inspirational introduction from National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry. Fact boxes are scattered throughout the pages, which include information about all of the creatures' mannerisms, diets, and habitat. A glossary helps kids expand their vocabulary, and tips for how to get more information help jump-start further discovery.
