Review:

Young children will really enjoy the superb photographs in this book - they capture each creature in motion with wonderful close-ups which freeze the water in action, giving a really dynamic feel to the pictures. Each photograph is accompanied by informative facts about the animal and how they use water, whether it's for food, to travel, to breed or simply for fun. There are some very unusual creatures included. The easy-to-read text makes this book ideal for young readers. I would like to see a contents page and/or an index though Parents in Touch Here, you will fins 46 amazing animals, some familiar and some... well, not so familiar! This book is filled from cover to cover with fantastic photos, the kind with such clarity, that when you look closer for detail, you are not disappointed. Animal lovers everywhere will love to 'dive into' this book and discover all the kinds of weird and wonderful creatures getting wet and enjoying the water when eating, playing and bathing.
