This guy is a creeper and constantly asks girls on YouTube who do ASMR to read his book on their channel， as if he just happened to be a fan of their work and would like this book。 He does this under the username "reading corner"。 This guy is a creeper and constantly asks girls on YouTube who do ASMR to read his book on their channel， as if he just happened to be a fan of their work and would like this book。 He does this under the username "reading corner"。 。。。more

Great for topic work on an underwater/sea life project。 We liked to use the illustrations on the page of deep sea creatures to draw our own with chalk on black paper while listening to saint-saens "aquarium"。 A lovely activity！ Great for topic work on an underwater/sea life project。 We liked to use the illustrations on the page of deep sea creatures to draw our own with chalk on black paper while listening to saint-saens "aquarium"。 A lovely activity！ 。。。more

Commotion in the Ocean is a great book for educators to read to children， advancing their knowledge of the ocean and its inhabitants。 This book will capture the attention of the readers， as the pictures are very bright and colorful， exactly what young children like to see。 The illustrations of all the ocean animals go into great detail and portray the animals as happy and important characters in the story of life。 The syntax is also very effective to keep the readers engaged， as it has good rhyt Commotion in the Ocean is a great book for educators to read to children， advancing their knowledge of the ocean and its inhabitants。 This book will capture the attention of the readers， as the pictures are very bright and colorful， exactly what young children like to see。 The illustrations of all the ocean animals go into great detail and portray the animals as happy and important characters in the story of life。 The syntax is also very effective to keep the readers engaged， as it has good rhythm and flow， rhyming to make it an easy read for kids。 Finally， it also sends a great message that each and every animal is important， due to the food chain。 Without one another， it would fail。 So it sends a significant lesson that we should help keep the oceans clean， so that the animals are happy in their environments， keeping the food chain alive。 。。。more

Lovely little rhymes about the things you may find in the ocean。 lots of extension possibilities such as creating a rhyming page for a new animal and making your own class book。 Cross curricular as you can act out the actions of count the hidden starfish throughout for mathematics support for EYFS。

This book is so cute！ I felt like this was a good read especially for younger kids。 Throughout the book we are taken on a journey where we explore all the different critters down in the ocean。 This books not only very educational and fun but also really beautiful to look at with all the beautiful colors in its illustrations！ I love the ocean and what it has in store and I feel like this book really captures the magic of the creatures who we really don't see quite often。 This book helps young rea This book is so cute！ I felt like this was a good read especially for younger kids。 Throughout the book we are taken on a journey where we explore all the different critters down in the ocean。 This books not only very educational and fun but also really beautiful to look at with all the beautiful colors in its illustrations！ I love the ocean and what it has in store and I feel like this book really captures the magic of the creatures who we really don't see quite often。 This book helps young readers to learn more about what these creatures do or what they do according to who they are。 I suggest this book because its fun and its bright colors capture your attention。 If you haven't already you should check this book out！ 。。。more

Children's literature picture bookPK-1After not caring much for Rumble in the Jungle by the same author and illustrator， I was not too optimistic about this book。 However， the text in Commotion was better， using rhyming verse to teach the reader facts about the water creatures。 The illustrations are extremely colorful， though I feel they verge on 'cutesy。' Still， I think that early readers would be drawn to the book。 I might use this when doing a unit on water creatures or as a mentor text on wr Children's literature picture bookPK-1After not caring much for Rumble in the Jungle by the same author and illustrator， I was not too optimistic about this book。 However， the text in Commotion was better， using rhyming verse to teach the reader facts about the water creatures。 The illustrations are extremely colorful， though I feel they verge on 'cutesy。' Still， I think that early readers would be drawn to the book。 I might use this when doing a unit on water creatures or as a mentor text on writing informational texts on animals。 。。。more

This is a cute book as a read-aloud for grades K-2。 It has interesting illustrations and a rhyming text。 I would use this book for an alphabet series， or in a text set on fish in a lower grade。 It has a Guided reading level M。

A collection of poems about ocean animals for young children。 It was cute。 This was the second time we've read this book。 We'll probably check it out from the library again before our next visit to the ocean。 A collection of poems about ocean animals for young children。 It was cute。 This was the second time we've read this book。 We'll probably check it out from the library again before our next visit to the ocean。 。。。more

Title: Commotion in the OceanAuthor: Giles AndreaePlot: This plot is chronological in taking readers on a journey from the sandy beach to the bottom of the ocean， exploring all of the animals and creatures in between。 Characters: The characters in this story all all static。 We don't ever get to know any one character， we just briefly meet them as we go through the ocean。 Main Conflict: There is no conflict in this book。Main Theme: The main theme is explicit。 This book is meant to be an informati Title: Commotion in the OceanAuthor: Giles AndreaePlot: This plot is chronological in taking readers on a journey from the sandy beach to the bottom of the ocean， exploring all of the animals and creatures in between。 Characters: The characters in this story all all static。 We don't ever get to know any one character， we just briefly meet them as we go through the ocean。 Main Conflict: There is no conflict in this book。Main Theme: The main theme is explicit。 This book is meant to be an informational nonfiction book that teaches young readers new vocabulary about the ocean and those who live in it。 Authors style: This author uses inviting pictures to keep readers attention as they are learning about all of the creatures that live in or around the ocean。 Design and Layout: I enjoyed how as you are going through the story you are 'meeting' all of the different animals and learning about them。 Lessons and Standards: K-LS1-1 Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals need to survive。 This book to be read aloud and then the teacher could conduct a conversation about what is needed for these animals that we just read about to survive。 2-LS4-1 Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats。 Use the habitats discussed in this book to compare to other habitats for this lesson。 Overall Assessment: I really enjoyed the journey readers go on in this book。 The pictures are fun and inviting and you don't even realize you are reading a nonfiction book！ 。。。more

This book is super cute and is great for the classroom。 You can read this book to students when learning about the ocean and then for an activity you could have the students make a sea creature out of playdoh！

This story in poems written in [sometimes awkward] rhyme takes the reader on a tour of underwater life。 Illustrations and verse introduce the reader to dolphins， sharks， crabs， angelfish and more。

Genre: PoetryTeaching Points-This book is great for introducing poetry and looking at different types of poems for the younger grades。 It connects works of literature to life in the ocean， which is atopic most kids are familiar with by early elementary。

I liked this book because it was short poem with rhyming about underwater life。 It also taught the kids about the ocean life and where the animals lived if it was in the sea or land or both and described the animals。

A preschool and up book about animals that live in the ocean with cute little explainations about each one。

Highly educational， introducing children to lots of different creatures found in the ocean using fun and memorable rhymes。 However， it seems a little bit long: our daughter's attention wavered halfway through， and I'll be honest and say that even I started feeling a little restless towards the end！ Highly educational， introducing children to lots of different creatures found in the ocean using fun and memorable rhymes。 However， it seems a little bit long: our daughter's attention wavered halfway through， and I'll be honest and say that even I started feeling a little restless towards the end！ 。。。more

A really nice book but for an older age as it's information about sea animals and not a story， will try again when my 2 y/o is older。 A really nice book but for an older age as it's information about sea animals and not a story， will try again when my 2 y/o is older。 。。。more

Charming， short individual poems about ocean creatures。 I wish there was a little more devotion to accuracy when it comes to facts about the animals， but of course that's not what it was going for。 Charming， short individual poems about ocean creatures。 I wish there was a little more devotion to accuracy when it comes to facts about the animals， but of course that's not what it was going for。 。。。more

I am on vacation for a week with my just 2-year old granddaughter。 We are staying on the beach on the West Coast。 So this book was my nod to where we are and something she’d take home for memories。 It’s a book about the ocean and who/what live in its waters。 For the most part I really liked the poems。 There were one or two I found a bit grizzly （scary？） for a very young child。 So in true adult fashion I just skip over those parts。 Enough time for her to hear the reality of life。 Actually I think I am on vacation for a week with my just 2-year old granddaughter。 We are staying on the beach on the West Coast。 So this book was my nod to where we are and something she’d take home for memories。 It’s a book about the ocean and who/what live in its waters。 For the most part I really liked the poems。 There were one or two I found a bit grizzly （scary？） for a very young child。 So in true adult fashion I just skip over those parts。 Enough time for her to hear the reality of life。 Actually I think this book is more suited to an older （4-6） child。 Bean just turned 2 and some of the poems were a tad long。 So I paraphrased and moved on。 I can see this being a book she will grow into word-wise。 Just letting her look at the pictures and talk seems to be good for now。 。。。more

This is definitely a preschool to early elementary book。 The rhyming is fun， however， it would probably not hold the attention span of a toddler。 Unless you shortened the book by reading part of each blurb， and asking the child（ren） to identify the animals on each page。 The illustrations are colorful and fun。 ^_^
