Become an ocean detective and discover the connection between a seabird, a whale, and a penguin; and maybe youll uncover the sea secret that links them all. Inspired by long-term scientific research, Sea Secrets invites young readers to explore two ocean ecosystems and their food webs. Field sketches, watercolor, and photographs combine to reveal the clues. Sometimes its the smallest things that turn out to be the most important!
