Simon Basher is the creator and illustrator of The Periodic Table, Physics, Biology, and Astronomy. His characters bridge the gap between edgy Manga and the cuteness of Hello, Kitty! Dan Green wrote Basher's "Physics," "Biology, Astronomy "and "Rocks and Minerals." He studied Geology at Cambridge University. Dr Frances Dipper is an independent marine consultant, author and educational lecturer. Her books include "Extraordinary Fish, "written to tie in with the BBC's Blue Planet series, and "The DK Guide to the Oceans," winner of the Junior Aventis Prize 2003 for Science Books.
Gr 5-8-With its conversational tone and cartoon illustrations, this unconventional guide packs a lot of information into each double-page entry. Not only do animals introduce themselves, but ocean features such as tides, seaweed, and pollution also have their say. The wide-ranging topics and appealing format should jumpstart interest in the watery world. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
