3D Theater: Oceans: Oceans Board book – Pop up, October 25, 2011

Ocean is one of a book series that features four 3-D theaters throughout the book to introduce the various creatures. The theaters pop-out to four different levels creating depth to include at least ten different creatures per spread. In the Ocean book we start with the coral reef which includes lionfish, anemone fish (Nemo), Grouper and many others. Then on to the open ocean with sharks, cod, dolphin, jellyfish and more. Then, the most fascinating to me, the ocean's depths with angler fish, tubeworms, a black smoker, and some other really, really strange creatures. The last theater is the frozen ocean with seals, penguins, whales and other Antarctic dwellers. The book says it's for 3 years and up and my 4-year-old granddaughter enjoys studying the theaters looking for the "hidden" animals. Very nice book.

Amazing book! My 4 year old still thanks me for getting this for him for his birthday. We have the rainforest one, and he asked for the ocean one for his birthday, and he was more excited to receive this book than the other toys! Vivid colors, and the pop-outs are wonderful. The only problem, not all the fish are labeled or discussed. The more we read it, we've found a couple fish, that a notable enough my 4 year old to point out and inquire about, but no where mentions what fish it is. Love that most of the fish on the pop out pages, have a little box with a "fun fact." My son knows more about the "Angler fish" than I do!

We read it almost every night, and learn about animals and search for them on the screen. My 4 y old son loves to take one of his Playmobil little men and drive in the water looking for sharks or to find Nemo. The pictures are very colourful, the information is enough to keep me busy and my kid attracted to playing with the book. what can you ask more for a 4 y old child. We also have the Rainforest book from the same series, and they are both excellent investment.

We have the entire 3-D Theater series of books and my son loves all of them, but this one is without a doubt his favorite in the series. I've been reading it to him for over a year now. We read it so much that the book is in tatters, which is my only complaint. These books fall apart fairly easily. Once the spine starts to go, the whole book starts to fall apart. I just added this one to my cart to buy as a replacement for the one that fell apart. Still worth 5 stars despite its construction.

My 3 year old is completely fascinated with these books and we just got 3-D Ocean which we read several times a week. He loves to find the creatures in the 3D pop ups and now wants me to read the little bit of info given about them on the sides as well. He can recognize and name so many creatures because of these books. I love all the 3D Theater books. They are beautiful to look at and fascinating no matter what your age.

Well to start off I bought the Ocean and Rainforest book. Rainforest one came in a hardy box with no major damage just slight wear off on the edges, however the Ocean book came in a bag and was so beat up on the back that it feels like it’s going to fall off. I can’t return it because it was a last minute pick for my brothers gift, but I wish it was in better condition. Inside of the book is fine but the back is completely torn on the top and bottom.

Absolutely love this book. Bought for my son to reinforce the ocean animals that he was being taught at school. Love that the book is a pop up bring the animals to life. My son loves to read the book and learn about the different animal species that life in our oceans. My son is 3 years old.

Item was not as expected. It said it would be in good condition and clearly was not. I am a librarian and ordered this book to add to my library. I definitely cannot use this book in the condition it is in.
