Genre: Informational Nonfiction

Grades 3 and up

Teacher Evaluation: I chose 3 and up for grade levels of this book because it could be read in higher grades. picture books are not only for elementary school. we should still read to children in higher level classes. I would use this book when learning about different ecosystems. Science classes would learn a lot when learning about ecosystems from this book.  

Summary: This book begins speaking about how the ocean changes every 6 hours. The temperature changes and the calmness of the water changes often. Marine Biologists are people who study life in and around the sea, so they are studying why these things happen in the sea. There are tides that often get smaller and they make animals appear in tide pools. Tide Pools are like a city with all different animals. Tides work because of gravity. While studying at raccoon beach there were a lot of different species found. There is also different zones on the rocks that determine what type of creatures live there. Also there are a lot of bugs that come with being near the tides at different times of the day. Now in the open sea it is very different compared to near the shores. The ecosystem is different. The larger sea animals live there like Whales, sharks and dolphins.
