The Most Amazing Creature in the Sea
CCBC Review:
“Who is the most amazing creature in the sea?” This opening question leads to 13 first-person responses from various sea creatures. The box jellyfish notes, “My venom is the deadliest.” A mimic octopus describes how it is a “master of disguise.” A leafy seadragon states that its camouflage is “among the best and most elaborate of all animals.” Each creature provides additional information before concluding, “That’s why I am the most amazing creature in the sea!” From the gross to the scary to the truly amazing, the fascinating facts give plenty for readers and listeners to consider … because in the end, it’s up to them up to decide who they think the most amazing creature in the sea might be. Lush, richly hued illustrations show all of the creatures in their natural settings. An author’s note provides additional information about ocean life. ©2015 Cooperative Children's Book CenterIllustrated by Gennady Spirin
