Superb
I include Oceanarium in my holiday gift guide, so fascinating is the subject and so museum-worthy the art. That comes as no surprise, though, as it is part of the Welcome to the Museum series! Divided by habitats and the inhabitants thereof, Oceanarium is meant to be absorbed like an aquarium visit. Beautifully illustrated full-color plates captivate while text and captions on the adjacent page identify the specimens and provide an overview of the habitat or type of creature. I do agree with the publisher's recommended audience age of about 8-12.

A wonderful look at our oceans
The "Welcome to the Museum" series is an educational delight. Information and illustrations are simply "spot-on" in accuracy and will capture the attention of readers young and old. This is an oversized book and a bit heavy. So your "littlest" reader may have difficulty holding it. But do show it to everyone and explore it's depths of delight. I recently saw a documentary on TV and it featured the oceans. Fascinating! Now there is a vast amount of information and pictures to feast upon in Oceanarium anytime you want to dip into it. Sectioned by types of sea life the book explains with just enough information but doesn't overwhelm the younger or casual reader. The illustrations are beautifully done. The basis of the books seems to be to education the reader to the variety and vastness of the oceans of the world, instill a respect and love for the oceans, and in the end encourage one toward a goal of ecological responsibility. I have reviewed other "Welcome to the Museum Series" titles and highly recommend this series. Including: Animalium: Welcome to the Museum, Dinosaurium: Welcome to the Museum, Fungarium: Welcome to the Museum, Botanicum: Welcome to the Museum. I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review. Opinions are mine, alone and are freely given.
