Young or old, readers will be able to explore a world far away from their own - beautiful and inspiring, but which still needs their protection. While Ocean Friends is not primarily an introduction to the importance of conservation and ecological responsibility, it can and does serve as a first step on the path of teaching children that the entire world is their responsibility, and that it is absolutely worth protecting. The Kubu Friends series educates children about the rich and varied environments the world has to offer, instilling in them a love for beauty and nature.
