Research Notes |
“This is the second book I’ve written for the Is that a Fact? Series, and I just love the fun tone and the Q & A format. I learned so many interesting this about the ocean while I was researching this book. "I discovered that world’s the tallest ocean is in the middle of the ocean and that blue whales are the loudest animals on Earth. I also learned that the world’s oceans contain 20 million tons of gold oldest animals on Earth live in the deep blue sea. The ocean is so much more amazing than I ever realized!” |
