Recensioner i media

"The clear exposition is straightforward and logically organized, densely filled with information but pleasingly broken up by text boxes and photographs on almost every page." Kirkus Reviews "Whether explaining ocean acidification, coral-reef characteristics, or 'What's Special about a Cephalopod?' there's much to inform and pique interests here." Booklist "This is an excellent example of how blending STEM fields can be done right" School Library Journal "I think that other kids should read this book because it is very informative about keeping our ecosystems healthy and clean. I would rate this book at 9/10 because of its awesome information." OWL "We highly recommend this one." Geek Reads Kids "This would be a solid resource for schools as well as public libraries serving home- school populations." School Library Connection "While the book is informative, it is the hands-on activities in each chapter that set this book apart from other similar texts." Green Teacher
