What Do You Think About Ocean Animals?: Decide For Yourself - Hardcover

In today's digital world, kids are flooded with information - but haven't been taught how to think critically about the information presented to them. Kids are used to being told WHAT to think, but in today's world, it is more important than ever for kids to learn to question what they read and think for themselves! This fun, educational, and informative nonfiction book encourages students to form their own opinions while exploring the incredible world of ocean animals.

Readers explore two opposing viewpoints on sharks, jellyfish, lionfish, fish farms, octopuses, and dolphins. Are sharks dangerous? Do jellyfish need a new name? Should lionfish be removed from their homes? Are fish farms harmful or helpful? Which is smarter - an octopus or a dolphin? Each ocean-themed question is presented with contrasting perspectives, supported by facts that reveal how authors can twist information to fit their purpose. Through engaging text, eye-catching visuals, and fun examples, readers are introduced to point of view, persuasive language, author bias, fact and opinion, and the importance of questioning what they read.

Perfect for 3rd-6th grade classrooms, homeschool classrooms, animal lovers, or budding marine biologists, this book is an unforgettable way to explore wildlife, animal facts, and different perspectives in the animal kingdom while empowering kids to take charge of their own thinking. What Do You Think About Ocean Animals? Is not just about nature and animals - it's about getting to decide for yourself what you believe!
