Customer Reviews

Exploring the deepness of Sylvia.

I think this book is a great way to introduce oceanography, ecology, marine biology and so forth. Andrea does a great job of summing up what Sylvia experiences and aspires as she explores the depths of the oceans. This book is mainly geared towards children of ages 9-12. I agree with the age range being appropriate. It introduces wonderful terms too. Included are wonderful pictures of Sylvia's encounters undersea. Definitely will make you want to explore more. However, I had hoped that it would include some more biographical information about Sylvia Earle.
