Ocean Explorer

A Search-and-Find Book

Head to the depths of our oceans and spot over 150 incredible sea creatures in this search-and-find book by marine biologist Carlee Jackson.

There are millions of creatures hiding in the depths of our oceans! In this beautiful search-and-find book, kids will snorkel around a coral reef, swim along a mangrove, and explore a shipwreck as they have fun for hours searching for sea creatures.

Vibrant illustrations by Hannah Abbo make for beautiful underwater scenes. As kids pore over the details, they’ll dive deeper and deeper within our oceans and discover habitats from around the world.

Will they be able to spot the sea turtle hatchlings making a dash for the sea? Or the nurse shark having a snooze in the coral reef? How about the narwhals peeking through ice in the Arctic? Kids will also learn that epaulette sharks can “walk”, how a rainbow sea slug defends itself against predators, and why honeycomb eels have two sets of jaws!

In this beautifully illustrated book kids will discover the diversity and richness of Earth’s oceans.
