My daughter loves when we read about animals, and do projects/crafts based round them, especially when they are colourful and exotic. This book gave us a chance to talk about the different fish that live in the ocean and what they look like. She loved it and really enjoyed learning all about them.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
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.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

A very comprehensive look at ocean life. This book has enough detail to satisfy the more avid reader, but also a lot of colorful large pictures to encourage curiosity. Some of the more complicated words or concepts are explained in side bubbles. Activities are suggested for learning such as finding places on a map, which is very beneficial. A great educational book for middle school and beyond, and possibly younger readers who have an interest in ocean life as well.

1st. The designer of this book did not do a great job because part of it were very hard to read especially in digital. Thin white text on top of neon green is not ideal.
2nd. This is an interesting book for kids to learn about different tropical fish and how to make sure they are protected.
Thank you to NetGalley and TMW Publishing for a free digital copy for my review.
