Publisher's Summary:
The South Sea's top predator is revealed in this fishy tale of who eats whom!
The animals of the South Sea are hungry. But who is hungrier than all of the rest? The kicking krill may swarm, and the blue cod are out hunting for dinner, but neither is fierce enough to be tops in this habitat. Could it be the lurking sharks, the pointy-tailed rays, or the toothy barracuda? Dive into this rhythmic text to discover who is at the top of this food chain.

My grandkids loved it!
Delightful
THE HUNGRIEST MOUTH IN THE SEA is a bright colorful book that is going to appeal to young animal lovers and adults like me who love to share science and nature with youngsters.
I think it's a great book to share because of the fun artwork and because it makes a nice read-aloud.
"Floating out at sea, a cloud of green plankton
drifts with the tide, soaking up the sun.
But look-- a hungrier mouth
in the seas of the south!
Who would you say is heading this way?"
It's not immediately clear but the focus of THE HUNGRIEST MOUTH IN THE SEA is a little unusual. I don't know about you but so many ocean books that we've read are generic. Peter Walter's book though focuses on the South Sea and it's unique Food Web. The author starts with algae and moves up from krill to white sharks and beyond. The hook is 'who is the hungriest mouth'.
If you aren't acquainted with them one thing you might want to know is that these Arbordale Books allow you to adapt how you use the material to your child and situation. If you want to get into more depth, for example, you can use the "For Creative Minds" section at the end of the book. These sections have more information and some activities. There is predator and prey matching for example and food web cards and even a card game you can play. Other activities can be found online!
--The Accelerated Reading level is 3.2.
--The Lexile level is 670.
--Can be shared with much younger children as the artwork is very appealing.
SUMMARY
I really like this book. I found the artwork very appealing and I really like that the focus was on the South Seas eco-system. The book is appropriate for a fairly wide range of children; though written on the 3rd Grade level.
I could see buying this for the home shelves or for a classroom book basket.

About: The Hungriest Mouth in the Sea is a childrenâs picture book written and illustrated by Peter Walters. This book was published on 8/1/2015 by Arbordale Publishing, hardcover, 32 pages. Please see more info about the author below. Arbordale Publishingâs mission is to inspire the love of reading and improve young childrenâs science and math skills through picture books. These books will captivate your kidsâ minds on your lap, at bedtime, or in the classroom.
My Experience: I read The Hungriest Mouth in the Sea for my 5 year-old on 12/10/16 before his bedtime. This book introduces many animals and even plants under the sea. Each page, a question is asked if this animal/plant eats the most. Finally in the end, we get to find out who eats the most or who stands at the top of the food chain. Like the other two books I have reviewed from this publisher, the back of the book has all the facts about marine mammals. I absolutely love these facts, especially when there are definitions for words the kids may not understand.
