My Visit to the Aquarium (Trophy Picture Books (Paperback))

Aliki is one of the best writers for children. She writes in a clear and easy style at the same time never talking down to her young audience. The illustrations are realistic, as I believe they should be in a non-fiction book on a scientific subject. My son has several of her books and they have inspired him to visit the zoo, the museum, and the aquarium, and have kept these places alive in his mind between visits.

This is a beautifully illustrated book that will delight the younger and feed the curiosity of the older readers learning not only to identify the undersea creatures but to see them in their natural surroundings. My 3 year old twin great-grandsons love this book and keep learning the names of the fish and challenging each other to remember them.

Great illustrations of many recognizable aquariums! I definitely recognize a lot of memorable Monterey Bay Aquarium spots and we took this with us on a vacation to Monterey and read it to our child before visiting the aquarium. The perfect book for our trip and lots of information about fish. I love that each page has labels with names for the creatures.

STUNNING illustrations. For any child that likes fish or travel in general, this is a GREAT book. It's fairly long and wordy for a three year old child, but with the amazing illustrations and the sheer size of the book (way larger and more beautiful than I ever expected), that's okay - it will hold the attention of a child, no problem! Great story and great pictures!

Great book, brand new condition, should be in all children’s libraries

My son really fell in love with underwater animals after getting this book. He learned a multitude of species and was then incredibly excited to go to the actual aquarium and point out all the fish he knew.

I bought this for my grandson and we enjoyed reading it. The attractive pictures kept this two-year-old's attention and helped him recall his visit to the aquarium. As he gets older, I am sure he will enjoy the text as well.

This was my favorite book as a kid. I always loved the art and that the fish and other things were labeled. Bought this as a gift for a friends kid.
