The Open Ocean

This luscious, over-sized picture book by Francesco Pittau, Bernadette Gervais is a sensory experience. It's like diving into the ocean. The book has silhouettes, pop-ups, flaps, and more.A few facts you'll learn from this book, include:-the difference between skates and sting rays-how far a sand hopper can jump-what sea urchins and hedgehogs have in commonThe artwork is gorgeous and produced lots of oohs and ahhs from my children. It's been an instant favorite. We're looking forward to reading more books in this series.

This is an awesome book. We bought it for our four year old who is obsessed with the ocean right now. She loves it. One thing. I was surprised by how large this book ended up being. I just didn't notice the dimensions, and so was surprised to get a 11.5 x 15.2 book. Not a bad thing, per se, it just surprised me.

My son is 4. He loves this book! He sleeps with it at night. He loves it so much and knows Santa brought it just for him. I can't wait to order the other ones by the same company.

Creative, beautiful book that has some really interesting facts about ocean life. My daughter and I (she is 6) got cozy in a big chair and read this one and the Birds one also together and had a great time guessing about the creatures, learning about them and looking at the wonderful illustrations.

Awesome book. My kid might be too young to appreciate it yet. She's two. She identified the sea creatures but the facts and information are a bit too much for her now. She'll grow into it and I'm hoping she'll love it as much as I do. Lol!!

Purchase as a gift for my niece, this is a very well done interactive book for any child or adult who appreciates excellent artwork.

I LOVE IT!!!! It's for my grandson for Christmas, haven't given it to him yet,,,, but he will love it!! He loves ALL nature things and books that pop up or have different ways of enjoy it.

Beautiful illustrations and clear explanations. The lift-the-flap format means that my six year-old wants to keep going even though the explanations are factual and geared towards kids slightly older. My nine year-old was fascinated.

This book looks an ideal present for my grand neice as she is very interested in the ocean. It has a good range of sea creatures and fish.Would have given 5 stars but it took longer to arrive than stated. Due in two days but took a week, causing a bit of anxiety.

Beautifully illustrated, really unusual 'shadow flaps entertained my 3 year old.

Great book!! My 4 year old Grandson loved it!!

My 7yr old loves it!

non il solito libro. Poche grandi pagine con disegni affascinantiProbabilmente durerà poco, però magari intanto un po' d'inglese si impara.
