What worked and/or what didn't: The illustrations of the oceanic life is very detailed but not in a scary way. The sharks in particular were drawn in a way that reminded me of a children's information poster that might be seen in an aquarium or museum. The people all look different which is good for younger kids to be able to distinguish characters from each other. Eugenie Clark is drawn consistently that it is easy to recognize her at each point in her life from childhood to adulthood. The colors compliment each other so the main focus of the page (usually sharks) pop out.

There is a lot to dive into in a biography and we were able to dive into Eugenie's life in about 40 pages due to the pacing. It covered the basics, but expanded on things that needed it. For instance when Eugenie Clark discovered three new types of fish there was more detail than when she first swam in the ocean. This is a very good intro for kids looking for a biography, a gateway into marine biology or sharks, or specifically Eugenie Clark.

 The plot is laid out in easy to absorb pieces. It's like a stepping stone into Eugenie's life. Although a plot driven story, there are still instances of character growth and development but in a third person point of view. 

Why I read it: I love sharks! I wanted to be a marine biologist before I realized I don't actually like the ocean that much. But, I have a shark tattoo and an aquarium to make up for it. I'm not big into biographies as I don't feel like they give as much information as I want and then I need to do additional research if I want to know more. One of the reasons I prefer fiction. However, this biography covered a lot of the major things in Eugenie Clark's life and included a decently detailed timeline for young children. The bright colors and fun fish and sharks had Bruno entranced. Something about the story reminded us of Lilo & Stitch. 

How I enjoyed it: I read this as an ebook that I borrowed through Libby. Digital format is my preferred way to read.

His imaginative animal friends weave their way through the illustrations, eventually joining him in curling up for the night.
