Ocean Week Book List

This week is Ocean Week!!!

Here are the books we borrowed from the local library. I try and put holds on the books we want to check out in advance, so my search for theme related books is done primarily online rather than in the library. This week it was a little difficult to get the books I wanted, but I think we have a few good ones... and a few okay ones :)

The Seashore Book - by Charlotte Zolotow: This is a beautiful book that does a wonderful job describing a day at the beach... makes me want a vacation!

Somewhere in the Ocean by Jennifer Ward and T.J. Marsh: A great rhyming and counting book about sea creatures. Bright and beautiful pictures and fun facts at the end.

My Visit to the Aquarium by Aliki: This story follows a little boy as he visits an aquarium. It has a lot of facts in it, maybe a few too many for a 3 year old's attention span - but the pictures are worth it.

The Underwater Alphabet Book by Jerry Pallotta: This book has fantastic illustrations for sea creatures living in the tropics from A to Z - watch out for the shark!

The Octopus by Denys Cazet: So this book is cute, but a little different. About a Grandpa who tells a scary tub story to his grandchild involving an octopus.

Seashore Treasure by Stan & Jan Berenstain: The Berenstain Bears are on a seashore treasure hunt and find a treasure of their own.

Fish School by Nancy Poydar: A story about a boy and his favorite goldfish who take a class trip to the aquarium.

Ocean World Sticker Book by Maurice Pledger: This last book we purchased at Costco as a fun activity to incorporate during the week.
