Marine biologist Loveday Trinick takes us on a stroll through her aquarium in a book, and we discover the majesty the ocean holds. We learn about extraordinary creatures that normally lie hidden beneath the waves and live in the ocean’s sunlit shallows down to its darkest depths. We travel the world’s oceans from the frozen Arctic to shimmering coral reefs, and learn why it is so important that we protect our oceans.

Oceanarium is a stunning museum quality book. The beautifully detailed illustrations and graphics will persuade you to spend time in its pages. It is not a quick reference book, but one to settle in a comfortable chair and enjoy the majesty of the ocean. Small children will enjoy the illustrations, while older readers will explore the books knowledge.
