A little yellow sub is heading beneath the waves . . .What strange
things will the submarine see as it dives deeper and deeper?
Folding out to nearly 8 feet, children can look at all the different
things the submarine sees on its way, as it travels past a pod of
whales, across a coral reef and spooky shipwreck, and close to an
underwater volcano and strange, deep-sea creatures. Playful text guides
the journey, providing a fun shared experience and a conversation
starter for parents and young children.
The reverse side of the concertina features spot illustrations picked
out from the main scene. When you turn over the concertina there is more
expansive information about all sorts of submersibles and amazing
underwater life.
From the book:
All Sorts of Submarine
Submarines and submersibles come in all shapes and sizes. Huge,
nuclear-powered naval submarines patrol the oceans, while small
submersibles are used to explore shipwrecks and the secrets of the ocean
floor. Some are designed simply for fun--after all, wouldn't you love to
take a ride underwater?
Ocean Zones
As you travel down from the ocean's surface, less sunlight can get
through the water, and it is colder. The various depths of the ocean are
called "zones." Different animals have adapted to live in each zone.
