From School Library Journal
Gr 3-4-Grandmothers are getting younger every day, and Sylvia Earle, pioneering marine biologist, has joined the ranks of this esteemed group. Written in the first person from her 10-year-old grandson's point of view, the text describes "G-mom's" dedication to protecting the marine environment and her work to further the awareness and knowledge of this precious resource. Full-color photographs on every page show Earle and her grandchildren on beaches and in aquarium settings holding kelp, touching sea creatures, and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Her professional activities aboard NOAA research vessels-diving in submersibles and scuba gear-are documented as is her role as National Geographic's explorer-in-residence. The last page provides nine tips for readers who want to be deep-sea explorers with the final tip, "Get Wet." While there's not a lot of substance, this is an engaging family photo album with narration.-Frances E. Millhouser, Chantilly Regional Library, VA
