We’re in the mood for a trip to the beach today at Wrapped in Foil blog<\/a>, so we’re highlighting Ocean Emporium: A Compilation of Creatures<\/em> by Susie Brooks and illustrated by Dawn Cooper.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is an emporium? By definition, it is a large store that carries a diversity of items, like you would find in a well-stocked department store. In this book the word is used in the sense of a place where you can see an array of different animals.<\/p>\n

The first spread introduces readers to an ocean food web and all the different groups that are featured in the rest of the book.<\/p>\n

The rest of the two-page spreads are \u201ccollections\u201d of related animals, from two different hermit crabs on pages 8-9 to eight species of sharks on pages 36-37 to ten \u201cCreatures of the Deep\u201d on pages 52-53. Each spread features a main paragraph which explains some unique characteristics of that group, along with another paragraph or two of interesting facts scattered within the illustrations.<\/p>\n

Dawn Cooper\u2019s digital illustrations capture a gorgeous assortment of actual creatures. They are both realistic and artistically rendered with brilliant color and detail, yet softened as if they are underwater. The texture of the paper adds to the illusion of looking into an aquarium or tide pool.<\/p>\n

Ocean Emporium<\/em> would be lovely to accompany a trip to the beach or an aquarium. It will entice both nature lovers and art lovers alike. Dive into a copy today!<\/p>\n
