Gr 2–4—Nicole Poole clearly and enthusiastically reads Claire A. Nivola's fascinating short biography (Farrar, Straus, 2012) about oceanographer Sylvia Earle. Children will enjoy learning that in her youth, Earle immersed herself in studies of the world around her before she found her true love in the ocean and its denizens. Her observations and studies about things that excited her may inspire young scientists to follow in her footsteps. Information about her later career is peppered with inspiring quotes from the scientist. The book allows readers to enjoy Earle's fascinating illustrations. The end notes provide additional information about this fascinating woman and the ocean she loves. This timely and interesting biography will captivate youngsters.—Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WA
