Award winning Sally Nicholls’s easy to understand and beautifully written text makes Who Makes the Ocean? the perfect introduction to the complicated story of how Earth came into being. It is also a call to remind children and their parents that everyone can to their bit to protect oceans and the creatures that live in them.
On a visit to the Ocean World museum, Dad uses the exhibits to teach his children about the world around them. Starting with the ocean makes sense as more than half of Earth is water which is why it looks blue from outer space and has earned the name, the Blue Planet. From the big bang, the forming of lakes and rivers, the beginnings of life on earth and in the water beautiful colour illustrations by Carolina Rabei bring the story of evolution to life beautifully.
Discover how an ocean is made - and how life developed on Earth - in this stunning picture book by Waterstones award-winning Sally Nicholls and illustrated by rising star Carolina Rabei.
Who made the oceans? An ancient god? A magic spell? A billion firefighters and all their hoses? Come on a trip to the Sea Museum with Dad, and find out how the oceans came to be, and why they're so important to our planet.
