Birthdays， adventures and family， a great combination for an amazing book。 What a wonderful opportunity for our children， grandchildren or children in our life to learn more about animals and different things found at the beach。 The "fun facts" included while the boys are on their adventure add so much more to the story and make the book more than just fun， it is fun and informative。 I also love the determination the brothers have in finding their mom the best birthday present， something that do Birthdays， adventures and family， a great combination for an amazing book。 What a wonderful opportunity for our children， grandchildren or children in our life to learn more about animals and different things found at the beach。 The "fun facts" included while the boys are on their adventure add so much more to the story and make the book more than just fun， it is fun and informative。 I also love the determination the brothers have in finding their mom the best birthday present， something that doesn't cost them anything， but they have an exciting adventure looking for it。 This is a story I'll share with many of the younger ones in my family without hesitation。 。。。more

Nature and everything it has to offer us is such a beautiful thing。 We sometimes even take it for granted it or sometimes don’t find the time to enjoy it like we should。 It is one of god’s gift that we should find time and explore it and who better to do it with than the people that you love。 This book is a great example that sometimes that smallest things in life are the most valuable ones especially when you have family by your side。 If you are looking for a book that shows that family is all Nature and everything it has to offer us is such a beautiful thing。 We sometimes even take it for granted it or sometimes don’t find the time to enjoy it like we should。 It is one of god’s gift that we should find time and explore it and who better to do it with than the people that you love。 This book is a great example that sometimes that smallest things in life are the most valuable ones especially when you have family by your side。 If you are looking for a book that shows that family is all you need and love all things nature and especially the ocean this is the book for you。 I Highly recommend it。 。。。more

I absolutely loved this book。 Not only was it an engaging story， but also enjoyed the "fun facts" scattered throughout。 I also appreciated how Carlos and Alexa captured the characteristics of children， from wanting to find the "perfect gift"， curiosity， a love of adventure， imagination， etc。 My daughter enjoyed it。 Highly recommend！ I absolutely loved this book。 Not only was it an engaging story， but also enjoyed the "fun facts" scattered throughout。 I also appreciated how Carlos and Alexa captured the characteristics of children， from wanting to find the "perfect gift"， curiosity， a love of adventure， imagination， etc。 My daughter enjoyed it。 Highly recommend！ 。。。more

This book is super cute！ It’s the story of two boys named Ocean & Kingston as they hunt around Hawaii for a special present for their mom’s birthday。The plot is cute & quick paced enough to keep the attention of young ones， and it’s filled with information interesting enough to engage older kids。The entire book is jam packed with new vocabulary for kids， and the words are reinforced with beautiful illustrations。 Facts about a variety of ocean animals are distributed throughout the book as well， This book is super cute！ It’s the story of two boys named Ocean & Kingston as they hunt around Hawaii for a special present for their mom’s birthday。The plot is cute & quick paced enough to keep the attention of young ones， and it’s filled with information interesting enough to engage older kids。The entire book is jam packed with new vocabulary for kids， and the words are reinforced with beautiful illustrations。 Facts about a variety of ocean animals are distributed throughout the book as well， helping to engage those kids who only like non-fiction。 This book is fantastic at helping kids increase their background knowledge while keeping them engaged the whole time。 Between the plot， the formatting， the illustrations， & the vocabulary， I can easily see SO many lessons coming from this one book。I can see this book being great first as a read aloud， then as one to let them reread and explore。 There’s so much to unpack from it！ There are also some super cute activity pages to help reinforce some of the vocab kids will pick up while reading。 I highly recommend this！ 。。。more

I highly recommend Ocean's World as a wonderful family book。 It provides the opportunity for children to go on an adventure alongside Ocean and Kingston as they travel to find the special birthday gift for mom， her favorite type of shell。 Not only would it keep a child's attention， but it would also teach them Hawaiian words and several important facts about the ocean and its surroundings。 It is relatable for a child。 A wonderful bedtime story for families to share in together。 I highly recommend Ocean's World as a wonderful family book。 It provides the opportunity for children to go on an adventure alongside Ocean and Kingston as they travel to find the special birthday gift for mom， her favorite type of shell。 Not only would it keep a child's attention， but it would also teach them Hawaiian words and several important facts about the ocean and its surroundings。 It is relatable for a child。 A wonderful bedtime story for families to share in together。 。。。more

Ocean’s World is such a great children’s book。 It has adventure， learning， and vibrant colors throughout the whole book。 They teach you words in Hawaiian， and it has fun facts throughout the books about things you’re wondering about。 There even some places where you can incorporate other lessons into it！ This will go in my pile of my favorite kid books from when i was a child that i can’t wait to share with my own kids one day or my cousins。Also， I want to say I’m SOOO EXCITED to be apart of Car Ocean’s World is such a great children’s book。 It has adventure， learning， and vibrant colors throughout the whole book。 They teach you words in Hawaiian， and it has fun facts throughout the books about things you’re wondering about。 There even some places where you can incorporate other lessons into it！ This will go in my pile of my favorite kid books from when i was a child that i can’t wait to share with my own kids one day or my cousins。Also， I want to say I’m SOOO EXCITED to be apart of Carlos & Alexa Penavegas team。 Thank you both for choosing me to be apart of this incredible season of your life。 。。。more

I was provided an advanced reader's copy of this book and am a fan of Carlos and Alexa。 This was a really cute book！ The illustration and idea were well done。My only problem is there lacked a clear lesson and the "fun facts" took you out of the story line slightly。Overall， it was enjoyable and I think kids reading it will love the colours and story line of these two boys who are going on an adventure。 I was provided an advanced reader's copy of this book and am a fan of Carlos and Alexa。 This was a really cute book！ The illustration and idea were well done。My only problem is there lacked a clear lesson and the "fun facts" took you out of the story line slightly。Overall， it was enjoyable and I think kids reading it will love the colours and story line of these two boys who are going on an adventure。 。。。more

I am apart of the launch team for this book like I was for the Penavega’s book What If Love Is The Point？ I just got access to it today and it’s so cute！ I just adore their kids。 I did not find it confusing since they do have a son named Ocean。 It’s a great book for children especially for those who love the ocean and it’s amazing creatures。 I think it will spark many imaginations and make them more curious。 It will encourage them to go on their own adventure no matter where they live。 I also be I am apart of the launch team for this book like I was for the Penavega’s book What If Love Is The Point？ I just got access to it today and it’s so cute！ I just adore their kids。 I did not find it confusing since they do have a son named Ocean。 It’s a great book for children especially for those who love the ocean and it’s amazing creatures。 I think it will spark many imaginations and make them more curious。 It will encourage them to go on their own adventure no matter where they live。 I also believe it will inspire children to love the ocean along with beaches more while also wanting to protect it and ocean life。 The illustrations are wonderful and the colors are so fun。 In my opinion books are important and I think children should be read to。 It overall is an adorable book and would make a perfect gift！！！ I sure enjoyed reading it and I know many children are going to love it！ 🤍🐬🐙🦀🐳🐠 。。。more

The cutest little kid's story。 I even learned some new things。 I love the fun facts throughout the story and the story itself; of two brothers creating memories together。 But not just memories doing something special for someone they love。 The fun facts are great starters to engage any child in wanting to learn more。 What a wonderful children's story。 I recommend this for any age and classroom。 The cutest little kid's story。 I even learned some new things。 I love the fun facts throughout the story and the story itself; of two brothers creating memories together。 But not just memories doing something special for someone they love。 The fun facts are great starters to engage any child in wanting to learn more。 What a wonderful children's story。 I recommend this for any age and classroom。 。。。more

My five-year-old had no trouble reading the book。 He had a great time meeting the boys Kingston and Ocean。 He liked the pictures in the book and how they matched the story's narrative。 He laughed as the boys explored to find the shell because their adventure and the creatures they met were entertaining。 As a parent， I really enjoyed sharing this book because it contains a lot of great facts for young children and explains exploring and caring for others in a fun way。 It was wonderful to see all My five-year-old had no trouble reading the book。 He had a great time meeting the boys Kingston and Ocean。 He liked the pictures in the book and how they matched the story's narrative。 He laughed as the boys explored to find the shell because their adventure and the creatures they met were entertaining。 As a parent， I really enjoyed sharing this book because it contains a lot of great facts for young children and explains exploring and caring for others in a fun way。 It was wonderful to see all of the different discoveries and closeness and friendship of the young children in this book。 Younger readers should read this。'Look at those lovely pictures！' M。 AGED 5 。。。more

Ocean's World is truly a beautiful book。 Two brothers head out to the beach with their dog in search for their mothers' favorite shells for her birthday。 While at the beach looking for shells the story takes us all on an adventure learning fun facts about ocean life。 The illustrations are bright and colorful， and the fun facts are interesting。 This was a great story for my little as we love going to the beach and hunting down shells。 Thank you so much to Llewellyn Publications and NetGalley for Ocean's World is truly a beautiful book。 Two brothers head out to the beach with their dog in search for their mothers' favorite shells for her birthday。 While at the beach looking for shells the story takes us all on an adventure learning fun facts about ocean life。 The illustrations are bright and colorful， and the fun facts are interesting。 This was a great story for my little as we love going to the beach and hunting down shells。 Thank you so much to Llewellyn Publications and NetGalley for the eARC。 。。。more

This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys。 I loved the pictures in this book， and I love all the facts and Hawaii words in this book。 I have found that this book's storyline does not flow easily， and I also found that one of the little boys in this book being named Ocean was a little confusing。 I really wanted to love this book， but I did not love it or hate it。 I received an ARC of this book。 This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are。 This is a Children's book that I read to my twin boys。 I loved the pictures in this book， and I love all the facts and Hawaii words in this book。 I have found that this book's storyline does not flow easily， and I also found that one of the little boys in this book being named Ocean was a little confusing。 I really wanted to love this book， but I did not love it or hate it。 I received an ARC of this book。 This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are。 。。。more

A cute story of brothers Ocean and Kingston who go on an adventure in the hopes of finding their mother’s favorite “Sunrise Shell” for her birthday。 The story takes place in Hawaii and Hawaiian words （with correct pronunciation） are used throughout the book。 There are also “fun facts” about nature on just about every other page。 A little drawn out， but still a cute read。
