A full color teacher read aloud introduces each ocean animal and the environment in which it inhabits. The teacher book is intended to be a shared reading experience and young children are not expected to read the words. The student book is written simply and in such a way that children can take their book home and share their knowledge with family and friends.

A short discussion on how to preserve our oceans is included as well as a simple writing experience asking children to think of ways in which they can help our oceans.

If you prefer to have a print and color activity, this is also included and can be used as a stand alone activity or a supplement to the big book.
