I'd have given zero stars, but 1) not possible, and 2) the pictures are actually really pretty...
This book is ripe with factual inaccuracies, and should NOT be taken as non-fiction.
Countless studies have proven that a killer whale's dorsal fin folding over has NOTHING to do with physical or mental health.

A great idea. Bad execution. Incorrect information in the book. Misinformation is the downfall of any form of media and this book is no exception.
Great for inquisitive learners

Julia Rothman's Anatomy series takes a deep dive with this latest addition: Ocean Anatomy. From the shoreline, to the layers of the ocean, to all its various inhabitants, Ocean Anatomy takes its readers on a delightful journey of discovery. A wonderful mix of colorful illustrations, informational diagrams, and engaging content, Rothman's newest book has something for everyone.
I've never had the privilege of owning one of Rothman's books so I wasn't sure what to expect. But Ocean Anatomy blew away any preconceived ideas I had. Although marketed as a children's book, this latest additional would surely appeal to audiences of all ages. The informational goes beyond introductory without being overwhelming, and the illustrations are a mix of whimsy and scientific accuracy. This would make a wonderful addition to any home library, with particular appeal to homeschooling families.
