Ocean's Child

TITLE: Ocean's Child
AUTHOR: Christine Ford and Trish Holland
ILLUSTRATOR: David Diaz
PUBLISHER: Golden Book
COPYRIGHT: 2009

Ocean’s Child is written as a poem. It is about an Eskimo mother in a canoe with her child as they tell the animals of the ocean good night. Preschool through primary aged children will enjoy this book. The illustrations in this book were appealing to me because of the colors used and how well they went with the flow of the poem.

I found this to be a nice book to read. It would be a nice addition fir a classroom library to read in a unit on Alaska. It also makes a sweet bedtime story.
