Wetpixel member Michael Patrick O’Neill (Michael) is proud to announce his latest books, Ocean Magic and Shark Encounters. Designed to encourage elementary school children to read and become involved in ocean conservation, both have ”have received glowing reviews from School Library Journal, the leading reviewer of children’s books in the United States.”

Ocean Magic and Shark Encounters can be purchased at Amazon. Both come in at under 50 pages and are full of diverse marine images.

I ordered both books from Amazon yesterday and am looking forward to giving them to my girlfriend, who teaches 5th grade, and whose students have been fascinated with our scuba diving photos as well as with the issues of conservation, overfishing, etc.
