More Fish Faces is a colorful, fun, and accessible scientifically accurate picture book about tropical reef fish by Tam Warner Minton. Released 1st Sept 2020, it's 52 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats. It's the second book in the Ocean Friends series for kids.
The book provides a collection of the author's photos from locations all over the planet - from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific. The photos are annotated in text sidebars with factoids and trivia about the different species and general info about the ocean flora and fauna. Photos are labeled with the location and common name of the pictured species. Interspersed in the text are important concepts which are clearly defined and understandable. The author manages to convey these important lessons on conservation and stewardship without being strident or preachy. The pictures are very bright, clear, appealing, and colorful and will fascinate readers of all ages.
This would make a superlative choice for a family with kids or a home study unit for such diverse subjects as science, natural history subjects, oceanography and related themes, art, biology, conservation units, etc. It would also be a great selection for school and public libraries.
Four stars.
