Based on young Kristin Joy Pratts bestselling illustrated tour of the sea, this guide explores many ocean creatures using a handson approach while also promoting selfesteem and cooperation. Its lesson plans expand on the marine habitat while also presenting skills for living. The hermit crab, for example, is not only an example of camouflage but also an animal that periodically outgrows its home, and children explore the idea of homes and neighbors. It includes mindmapping suggestions and much more.
