The ocean

Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the planet, and a great deal of science lies beneath their surface. This survey-style book gathers facts and stories about the world's deepest seas and oceans.

It looks at the creatures and plants that live in these waters and at the people who have explored them. It also takes a critical look at what is at stake now in efforts to protect the ocean.

The pages use a varied mix of layouts and are filled with artwork throughout. The book is written by Miranda Krestovnikoff for children and families to enjoy together.
