Read and find out about the deepest part of the ocean in this
colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.
The ocean covers almost three-quarters of the Earth, but how deep does
it go? Put on your scuba gear and explore the ocean, from its shallowest
waters to its deepest, most mysterious parts. As you dive deeper, you'll
discover glowing animals, strange creatures that don't need sunlight to
survive, and even the largest hunter in the world.
With beautiful illustrations and engaging text, How Deep Is the Ocean?
will guide young readers into the deepest parts of the ocean. Featuring
a find-out-more section with a water-pressure experiment, a lesson in
making a sounding line to learn how scientists measure the depth of the
ocean, a glossary of new terms, and web research prompts, this book will
begin children's explorations of the deep sea. Both the text and the
artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. David Gruber, real-life deep sea
explorer and professor of biology and environmental science at Baruch
College.
