All I could think of while I read this story was this: This would be a perfect book to use when my students are learning about the Atlantic ocean! Indeed, it would be a great book to use :)
The book takes the perspective of the Atlantic ocean. The ocean talks about its relatives the Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Antarctic and how its water travels from continent to continent. Many other useful and important information is given to the reader through the eyes of the Atlantic ocean. By doing this children may be able better comprehend the information given. This book is recommended for students between the ages of 4 and 8. I agree with the age range, however, I may push the max. age to 10. I can definitely imagine teachers using this book in their classrooms when discussing oceans. Even if students are familiar with the Atlantic ocean, a refresher picture book is always a fun option. Furthermore, the illustrations within the book are fabulous. They are very colorful, page filling, and cartoon-like. They definitely grab the reader's attention and will help student engagement. Always a plus!
