"Dad, did you know that some of the white sand beaches in Hawaii were formed from the poop of parrotfish?" my 7-year-old asked me the other day.
Umm... uh...
"Also, see those clouds outside? Those probably came from the ocean. But it will rain fresh water, not salt water."
I hadn't read the book yet. We'd just gotten it in the mail. But my 7-year-old had already devoured it. And he was filled with all kinds of cool facts about the ocean.
Later on, we really enjoyed reading this book together. It is a great book for kiddos and adults alike. It makes you think about the big picture with regard to oceans, but it also has some really interesting factoids. Like the one about the parrotfish poop beaches.
The Ocean in Your Bathtub also has a nice message about doing small good deeds for the oceans every day, without any of the sanctimonious "wear the ribbon or else" bonk-you-over-the-head kind of attitude you often get from culture these days.
The beautiful illustrations spark the imagination and make you ponder the vastness and importance of our planet's oceans. I highly recommend this book for kids of all ages.
