Seasons change in the ocean much as they do on land. Spring brings new plants and baby animals, summer oceans are aglow with sparkly plankton lights, and autumn winds blow across the open water. In winter the humpback whales migrate to warmer waters, just as many land animals move to warmer climates. In fun, fanciful form, children learn about the plants and animals that are joined through the mix of seasons, food webs, and habitats beneath the waves. While this story is set in the Pacific Ocean, similar changes occur all over the world.

Children, parents, and teachers, will love the five-page "For Creative Minds" educational section. Get in on the action with:

• A comparison of ocean seasons to land seasons
• Ocean food web information
• Ocean food web card game
