Overview
Is the ocean a roaring bull? Or is it a fairy spraying sea salt like magic dust? Children ages three- to ten-years-old will gaze at the mighty sea in all its majesty and intricacy in the debut book by Laura Zylinski Batyr, Is the Ocean an Animal? When a young boy and his mother take a walk on the beach on a spring day, they find themselves looking at the ocean in an altogether different way. The waves seem to chase the boy, who wonders if this mysterious body of water is actually an animal. Mother and child spend their time together sharing the many different things that the ocean brings to mind, from a fierce monster that threatens to wipe away all that is on land to a dreamy dragon that unknowingly warms the sand. Lyrical, inventive, and deeply respectful of nature's vast and varied expressions, Is the Ocean an Animal? is a playful, powerful tribute to the limitless capacity of the sea. It offers children a delightful entrée through which to forge a deeper connection to the ocean, by considering its personalities in enriching new ways.
