Description: From the surface to the floor, the ocean is bursting with life both microscopic and giant. Centimeter-long arrow worms gobble balls of algae near the surface, while hatchet fish glow and giant squid battle whales in the darker waters thousands of feet below. On the ocean bottom, sea vents create an oasis for exotic marine life such as clams the size of dinner plates, white crabs and colorful tubeworms. With each turn of the page, readers explore descending ocean levels, each a unique environment that supports life specific to its depth. Acclaimed author Sandra Markle captures the evocative power of the ocean; rich, vivid illustrations by Bob Marstall take readers on a visual journey like no other.
