Dive! Dive! Dive

Today (June 8th 2026) is World Oceans Day.  The oceans are very important for everything.  And there is so much that we do not know about it.  Today is the day to learn something new about the oceans.  Or take a swim in the ocean (but there are jellyfish, so maybe, no).  Maybe you can visit your local aquarium.  

Weird But True! Ocean 300 Fantastic Facts from the Deep Blue Sea by National Geographic Kids

300 fascinating facts about the ocean and the things in it and on it.  

This is the first Weird but True! book that I have read.  I think I will read more.  I started with the ocean because I am fascinated by ocean creatures.  And this satisfied all my ocean creature love and taught me some things I didn't know.  There were facts about the ocean itself, the creatures who live in it, and the people and ships that travel on top of it.  There are some awesome photos of things that people may not have seen before.  I liked the bite sized facts so no matter how much time you have you can get a fact or two in (if you can stop yourself from reading them all).  You do not learn a lot about anything but you learn a little about a lot.  I can see this inspiring people (not just children) to learn more about many things they see here.
