 | A swim through the sea by Kristin Joy Pratt Feb 23, 2008 |
1.Books with universal themes for children should not use provincial measurements. Most of the world uses metric now. If not written solely in metric, then both metric and imperial measurements should be used. It would be simple enough to do, you just have to think about it.
2.The text (Organisms in intertidal zones surviving 50% dessication) is beyond the comprehension of a child learning the alphabet- so why it was set out as an alphabet book?
Why didn't the editors of this book re-orient it for either older children with the text intact, or younger children with a simpler text. In either case universal measurements would be necessary.
I will use the book for the pictures only. | | |  | Showcasing an alphabetically arranged variety of fish and other water-life forms Aug 13, 2006 |
Written and illustrated by sixteen year old Kristin Joy Pratt, A Swim Through The Sea is the creative and imaginative ABC board book the features Seamore the Seahorse as he explores the wonderful underwater ocean life with each depicted creature also representing a letter of the alphabet. Carrying preschoolers and kindergarteners from A to Z, Kristin's A Swim Through The Sea offers a delightful presentation of twenty-four interesting and beautifully drawn aquatic life forms and is a thoroughly fun approach to learning. An ideal addition to family, day care center, and kindergarten library collections, A Swim Through The Sea is very highly recommended for all children ages 3 to 5 for its unique, original, colorful, and educational format showcasing an alphabetically arranged variety of fish and other water-life forms.

| I am truly amazed at the talent of Kristen Joy Pratt. I think that her talent to supply children with useful information in a fun way is pure genius. Not only does this book give valuable information about the sea, it also shows the creatures in humorous settings. This book does a wonderful job describing the animals using word play. Learn about an amiable angelfish or a puffed-up porcupine! This book could be used for many grade levels. Small children could use this as an ABC concept book while older children could use this as an informational book to learn more about sea creatures. I loved the art work in her book. She begins by putting a picture of the continents on the front and back cover. From there it just gets better. She uses wonderful color and detail in her art to show the characters the story is talking about. As a teacher, this book works wonderful with a unit on the sea. This book is very resourceful and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the sea or in wonderful illustrations. Not only will you be amazed that there is something for every letter in the alphabet, but you can read facts about different creatures that live in the world under water! | | | Write your own review about A Swim Through the Sea
