Review
The fifth book in the popular Atlas of Adventures series goes underwater, with infographics, maps and Lucy Letherland’s beautiful illustrations. Adventures include lunching on lanturnfish in Costa Rica, hunting with great whites in South Africa and crunching coral with parrotfish in Thailand. - The Sunday Times
Atlas of Ocean Adventures is a fantastic book that I would recommend for any young person who is keen to explore the amazing creatures that live in the world's oceans. The book is full of gorgeous illustrations that make you want to turn page after page. Through engaging explanations about how the animals live, eat, hunt and survive the reader can gain deeper insight into marine life. The book also draws attention to some of the key threats facing the marine environment at the current time and gives some ideas on how we can all help. - Helen Webb, Co-Founder, Sea-Changers
Set out on an ocean adventure with this beautiful atlas, which will take you travelling with leatherback turtles across the Pacific, ice-bathing with a walrus, and crunching coral with parrotfish in Thailand. Turn over the super-sized pages for plenty of facts as well as fabulous maps, infographics and illustrations. - The Week Junior
