Selected as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2024 As Oprah says on OprahDaily.com, ‘These three beautifully designed books will introduce kids to life underwater, the galaxies above, and their own world here on earth.’ 'A visually arresting, fact-filled journey diving underwater around the world.' – School Library Journal, Starred Review A stunning addition to the bestselling Our World Collection, this colorful, creative picture book transforms into a freestanding globe. Explore Earth’s underwater ecosystems with this charming read-aloud introduction to our blue planet. Beautifully illustrated and cleverly designed, Our Underwater World opens and folds back into a sturdy circular globe fastened by a hidden magnetic closure. Rhyming verse and lush illustrations teach young children to identify and experience Earth’s bodies of water – from freshwater ponds to coral reefs to the deepest depths of the ocean. Secondary text offers more detailed, curriculum-focused facts and encourages children to learn about the diverse plants and animals who populate aquatic habitats. Inspiring, informative, and one-of-a-kind, this artful homage to our vital water system is both an invitation to explore the natural world and an object to be treasured for years to come.
