Under the Sea

 APA:Britannica. Under the sea. (2010). Publications International.

Genre: Science, Non-fiction

Summary: This informational text from Encyclopedia Britannica gives an in-depth view of life under the sea. This information on sea life starts with the ecosystems and life-forms that were present over 600 million years ago and how they thrived and survived. The book continues to tell how temperature and overall water changes gave to the rise of aquatic plants in this early period. The book goes on to say how life began in the sea with the beginning of evolution starting here in the vast waters before any animals were able to be on land. The next few pages begin to show the structure and details regarding different sea creatures such as what we know as the starfish and sea anemone. The next few pages continues this trend as it describes sea creature after sea creature as well as any other details for their lifespans and structure. 

Target Audience: Considering that this is another Encyclopedia Britannica book, I would say that the target audience is not necessarily restricted to any one narrow range. This book may be better understood and enjoyed by different ages, but this book can very easily be picked up and aimed at anyone from 1st-12th grade and very easily beyond that.
