Journey into the Deep: Discovering new ocean creatures

This gorgeous non-fiction book grabs the reader’s attention from the moment you spy the amazing color photography on the cover. The page size is large and each one features several full-color undersea photographs of sea creatures recently discovered during research studies around the world. The photos are complimented by well-written text about each creature, how they were discovered including descriptions of the undersea technology used, what’s happening in the surrounding environment and the ecosystem and much more. The final pages of the book features a glossary, index, source notes and bibliography, and a list of resources to learn more. Readers may also find the labeled photos of the scientists quoted in the book to be an interesting reference especially because their research location around the world is also noted. I’m confident that our students will enjoy this book and that it may inspire future marine biologists. I highly recommend this book.
