I love Snorkel McCorkle! She is a superpower-brava!! It is a delightful read, beautifully illustrated, and I learned a lot from it. The marine ecology and oceanography is wonderful, and the STEAM curriculum connections are many and creatively presented-very age-appropriate for young readers, who can identify with the problem solvers-Snorkel, Matilda and Figaro. Tommy Bledsoe, Arts Education Specialist Captured the attention and imagination of my kinetic eight year old son....with equal interest as our Harry Potter reading...Each evening, Roman would ask if we could read the Snorkel book...after we ran out of chapters, he continued to ask, every night. Then this evening, he grabbed a straw out of the pantry and took it upstairs to create a snorkel....I remembered I had a snorkel in the garage, so I cleaned it up and he gave it a shot. Bathtub snorkeling during Covid, we'll take it. Lara Johnson A little 10-yr-old female who literally takes the world by storm and makes it an environmentally better place is the heroine of this book, replete with the lyrics and music of Katherine Archer. A lost mom to the ocean, the young heroine's kayak, sea creatures, neighborhood bullies and a constant love interwoven into a superb plot make this writing a delight for both the child and the adult alike. The plot bounces along with adventures and the music soothes the spirit. It's a WIN WIN! Francesca Sansone
