As ‘Protector of all marine life and Guardian of the Sea’ Andee the Aquanaut takes us through an ocean full of adventures, all aimed at helping children learn to be wise stewards of the sea. From being adopted by a dolphin family, being chased by giant pre-historic fish, befriending not only a jelly fish but a mermaid as well, Andee has quite the adventurous life to introduce us to.

Andee the Aquanaut: Guardian of the Great Sea by Simon J. House was a fast-paced book with colorful illustrations throughout that would be a great introduction for young readers on doing their part to protect the environment. It went through the typical situations of poaching, dolphins getting caught in nets, and fishing exotic and rare animals, but it also included a lot of action and adventure which will make it appealing to all ages and both boys and girls.
