DESCRIPTION
Sure, you know that the oceans are full of big sea creatures, but did you know that it has some of the biggest living animals on Earth?

You’ll find them hiding among the pages of The Small Book of Tiny Sea Creatures. Come and meet them all!
REVIEWS
“The Big Book of Giant Sea Creatures and the Small Book of Tiny Sea Creatures portrays in the two parts 36 brightly hued, often exotic saltwater denizens, from the ½-inch anemone shrimp to 110-foot blue whale and 130-foot giant siphonophore. An intrepid clownfish (sometimes, understandably, hard to spot) provides a sense of scale in each portrait, and accompanying comments offer notes on sizes, habitats, and like helpful points. Unwieldy for library use; just right for little hands and big (really big) laps. (Informational picture book. 6-9)”
