'Whether anxious about a new experience or simply curious, youngsters will appreciate this sneak peek at aquariums, which offers glimpses of sharks, penguins, touch tanks, and school children taking in the sights. This offering from the Let’s Take a Field Trip series (6 titles) tackles what a class trip to the aquarium might entail, the rules kids should follow there, and what kids might need to bring with them. Using simple language and familiar sight words (highlighted in the front matter), the text is ideal for children learning how to read. The fluid layout incorporates colorful lava lamp–like graphics with lots of white space, and well-chosen pictures provide a calming background for early readers. Recommended for early childhood centers and kindergartens where community exploration is on the agenda.', Julie Goldschmied, Booklist
