review 1: My 6 year old daughter chose this book from the school's book fair. At first, it seemed like just a better illustrated Miss Frizzle...but then we realized that it was not at all like this. Miss Smith's amazing book takes her and her class of students wherever the book does. Under the Ocean focused on sea related stories such as Little Mermaid, Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island and Moby Dick. As an adult, I could appreciate the connections, as elementary students my 6 and 9 year olds didn't "get it" because they had not read most of these classic stories written for much older readers. Once I pointed out the connection of The Little Mermaid the went looking for more literary connections though! And now the 9 year old boy is interested in reading about Gulliver and the Lillip... moreutions as well as Captain Nemo and his submarine! THAT is a good thing. GREAT illustrations!
review 2: In true Miss Smith fashion, story time is never boring. Miss Smith takes her class on a new adventure as they visit the aquarium. As she reads to the class they go on an adventure under the ocean. She reads from a variety of stories from The Little Mermaid to Moby Dick. Life is always a great adventure when Miss Smith reads. Children love to hear the story and the illustrations are beautiful. less
