I received an electronic ARC from Abrams Books。Beautifully illustrated book that takes readers through various types of sea life in different areas of the water。 The grid identifies each type of animal and provides short blurbs of information about each。 Further information about the water area - mudflats， salt marshes， etc。， is provided to introduce readers to the life found there。 Well presented for middle grade readers and those who want to refresh their memories。
