"This book was greatly enjoyable. The illustrations were colorful and adorable in depicting the wildlife. The narration was for older elementary, but I think younger children could also learn and be entertained by the content within the book. It's a great introduction into conservation, helping the environment, and learning about the world. I would greatly look forward to other selections by this author and illustrator! I will recommend this to my coworkers at our library!" ―Jordan Gray, Librarian


"There is a lot to learn in these intriguing and easily digestible facts found on every page. There is so much to learn in this book, and I loved all the cool facts included throughout. The illustrations are fantastic throughout with a light cartoonish element that will appeal to young readers and so many cool details on each page. Together with the text, there is so much to learn! Animals and information come to life through the images. The font is really easy to read throughout, and I appreciated that animals are labeled where they are pictured, whether or not they are accompanied by fun facts. This book would be a great start to learning about bodies of water and the many things that live there- perfect for children who love learning cool facts! With an engaging presentation and detailed illustrations, TAKE ME HOME: WATERS OF THE WORLD is a great choice to learn fun facts and as a springboard to studying oceans, lakes, and rivers and the creatures who live within them. Highly recommend for classrooms, libraries, and for budding ocean enthusiasts!" ―YA Books Central


"Take Me Home: Waters of the World is packed with great information presented in an accessible way to preschool-elementary aged kids." ―Kids Read the World
