ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- The newest in the CSIRO factual picturebooks, this one is written by a well-known marine biologist and beautifully illustrated by Cindy Lane (who makes her own coloured paints). A simple text introduces different sea creatures going about their lives in the nocturnal realm of the ocean, including Little Penguins, Port Jackson Sharks, plankton and giant squid, amongst others. There is a section at the back of this lyrical story that gives facts about the animals, to satisfy the curiosity of young readers; it also includes a glossary. Another fine book from CSIRO! Lindy

As night-time nears, a world of creatures comes alive in our oceans.

Settle in and explore the wonderful world under the waves, and see what animals do from sunset to sunrise. From penguins to sharks, giant squid and plankton, discover the fascinating after-dark lives of ocean creatures.

Oceans at Night showcases the beauty and wonder of life below the sea, so dive deep and discover what happens while you sleep!

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 5 to 9.

Reviews for Oceans at Night

"""The poetic words used to describe each of the diverse animals is perfectly pitched at a young audience. The movement of each creature is felt, as is the swell and rise of the ocean."" -- Kathryn Beilby * ReadPlus *"
