This book is all about the ocean and oceanography. I was impressed by the realistic and powerful pictures, as if I were in a submarine and walking through the ocean.
There are all kinds of creatures living in the ocean, including cute fish and beautiful coral reefs.
Whales flip in the ocean and poisonous jellyfish lurk in the deep sea.
The ocean is truly a wonderland!
The salty taste of human blood is a remnant of the fact that our human roots came from the sea.
This book is a great way to learn about the mystery, beauty, and preciousness of life in the sea.
