"Did you know. . . that California Halibuts, those silly looking, sideways swimming sand dwellers, have one eye that moves to the other side of their heads? Eeewww!! That's Yucky! But hey, it's okay. Just imagine if it weren't that way! The authors go on to explain the benefits of having two eyes on one side if you happen to live at the bottom of the sea. Nature's Yucky 4 highlights creepy behaviors and disgusting facts about 16 creatures of the sea and seashore, including lightning whelks, sharknose gobies, and donkey dung sea cucumbers. Younger children will love having the book read aloud to them with its alliteration and repeating refrain, while older children and adults will appreciate the in-depth information contained in the Fun Facts section. The most yucky information in the book, however, is the discussion about plastic in the world's oceans and its effect on sea turtles, dolphins, and other creatures. Readers of the Nature's Yucky series will revel in the disgusting slime of the Pacific Hagfish and then go on to save the planet"--

Our oceans are amazing! They are filled with wonderful sea creatures and are essential for a healthy planet. But it’s now estimated that there are more pieces of plastic in the ocean than visible stars in the Milky Way. So how can we stop plastic from our homes and cities from ending up floating in oceans far away? By becoming ocean change-makers! Oceans of Plastic explores how ocean systems and swirling currents bring plastics together into massive ocean garbage patches. It also uncovers the floating world of the 'plastisphere' – a mini community of microbes living on ocean plastics – and explains how plastic breaks up, not down, and can even end up on your dinner plate! Oceans of Plastic is packed with great ideas and simple changes that you can make to help our oceans. Become an ocean change-maker in your home, school or community, and inspire others to join you in protecting the future of our oceans. Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 9 to 12.
