Review
"Oceans, places where all life on Earth began, yet they are one of the least understood places on the planet."This is the opening line of an exquisite book that takes the reader from the ocean shallows to the darkest depths.It introduces creatures that may be familiar to others that most humans have never knew existed. It is filled with information but does not overwhelm the reader - it is enough to capture the interest of anyone choosing to select this book. What makes this book stand out is the fantastic illustrations! Large, detailed,with a soft touch to them, Eleanor Taylor captures the creature and the reader. It defines STEAM. Information for the budding scientist and illustrations to capture the lover of art. Not to be missed!
Overall Book Score: excellent
