Descend to the depths of the sea on a thrilling tour of the world's oceans. As young readers move down through the ever darkening ocean layers, they encounter all kinds of fascinating creatures—from the familiar hermit crab to the mysterious tube worm, from tiny krill to the tremendous giant squid. Spectacular photos and a vivid, second-person text let children experience all the drama, danger, and adventure of deep-sea exploration and see amazing underwater technology in use. A final note from the National Geographic Society compares polar, temperate, and tropical seas and provides more details about sea life and ocean exploration.
