- Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024Grandkids love this book, colorful. High quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024This book is exactly as it appears in the ads. The quality is good and sturdy and the images etc are beautiful. Would highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019I bought this book for my early childhood program for babies & toddlers, as I like to give parents ideas and inspiration about books for their little one. This is one of the best ocean/beach themed books I've come across, ever. The illustrations are very colorful and easily recognizable (ie: the whale actually looks like a whale). But what I love most about this book is it gives the basic name to the animal, which is great for babies and very young toddlers, but then it gives a few fun and & easy facts about the animal that would be very interesting to a pre-schooler 2-5 yrs old. I highly recommend this one for your home library!!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019My three year old fell in love with the Hello, World! books when we read the Dinosaur edition. After that he asked for more (the collection is located on the back of the book) and of course I had to get this one for him since he's in love with everything ocean related (thank you Baby Shark). The books are so easy and fun to read and I love the tidbits of wisdom that are sprinkled throughout the book. The book is visually stunning and so fun to read! Will add more of the Hello, World! books to our collection :)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024Easy to understanding and beautifully illustrated. It’s a good idea for people to learn how important nature is to us and we need to take care of her.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024Super cute book with nice pictures and age appropriate info for my 2 year old. We have many books from these series and he loves them
- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2023Great book in a cute series. It isn't the most scientific, but it is interactive enough and simplified for very young children. It's a great way to introduce topics.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020So, baby books are really hit or miss. You think something is great and then your baby finds it so boring. Maybe it’s good for an 18 month old but not a 5 month old, and you don’t know the best age range until you get the book. Now I have to do my book shopping online due to COVID, and I keep getting duds. NOT this book - it’s PERFECT! Colorful, easy to read, non-controversial messages about ocean animals... I love it and so does my 6 month old, and there are different sets of text to read as he gets older so it can grow with him developmentally - genius. I’m buying several more of these books by the same author, because they are a sure bet. Yay!
