Unfathomable details twenty wild-but-true stories about the ocean and the many things that exist inside. Stories range from encounters with animals that live in the ocean, to pollution, to survival at sea, as well as a host of other things. There is truly so much to learn about our oceans!
The book, quite literally, started off with a bang about the Florence, Oregon whale bombing in the 70s, which had me in tears. I was laughing so hard. The rest of the book is interesting, gross, or weird in equal measure. Considering that most kids want to be a marine biologist at some point in their lives, you can bet this one will do brisk circulation in your classroom library.
