Explore the world's oceans and seas with this gorgeous illustrated children's book, endorsed by the Natural History Museum

Together, the mighty oceans make up Earth's biggest biome. They drive the world's weather, provide half of all the oxygen we breathe and supply food and livelihoods for over a billion people. The World Ocean explores these precious habitats in depth, looking at the different features, from wildlife and weather to landscape, that make them unique. It also looks at the threats that they all face, and what is being done to protect them.
