perceptive eye along shorelines, across the open ocean, and below the waves for
an artistic exploration of the watery universe. Through her drawings, discover the
forces behind oceanic phenomena such as rogue waves, colorful anatomical
profiles of sea creatures from crustacean to cetacean, surveys of seafaring vessels
and lighthouses, and much more that are part of this compendium of curiosities
that will entertain and educate readers of all ages.

Introduction Many homeschooling families incorporate the study of ocean life into their lessons. We are so
excited that Storey Publishing has released Ocean Anatomy and are looking forward to using it
in our studies. Because Ocean Anatomy joins a series of books that include Nature Anatomy,
Farm Anatomy, and more, which are popular books on homeschool shelves, we have created a
notebook to accompany it, with the publisher’s permission.
This notebook will follow along with the topics in the book and include places for written
narration of information read, sketches of ocean life and features, labeling and diagramming,
and more.
We have also included links for extra free printables and resources to expand your study on
individual topics.
Other books in this series include:
