Synopsis:

Discover menacing sharks, playful dolphins, clownfish, penguins, turtles, whales, shimmering jellyfish, and gargantuan giant squid. Ocean: Secrets of the Deep is jam-packed with hundreds of stylish illustrations and many more surprising facts about the world's marine life. First, readers are taken on a journey from the water's surface to the deepest, darkest depths of the oceans, stopping off at coral reefs and kelp forests. Next, information-packed spreads offer answers to questions such as: How do turtles keep clean? Do whales talk to each other? and What can humans do to save the ocean?

Our Thoughts:

 Did you know the oceans drive our climate and weather patterns or that more than half of the world's oxygen comes from the sea?

 Ocean: Secrets of the Deep is packed full of educational material about the ocean and the millions of animals and plants it is home to as well as how it affects our lives and vice versa!

Learn about the legends of the seas and where exactly in our world they originated. Dive down find out what lives deep in the dark. Learn about the life-supporting ecosystems and migration patterns of our ocean wanderers. 

As amazing as the ocean and its inhabitants are, it is also in peril from overfishing, warming waters, pollution and more. Find out what causes coral bleaching and how many tons of waste flow into the ocean each year, and then read about how we can all help and make a difference to repair and preserve it.  

This fantastic book contains a plethora of absolutely beautiful and realistic illustrations. It is also full of maps and charts and keys to identify the regions, zones, and creatures of the sea. We loved all the detail and color as well as the extra helpful glossary at the end!
