submersible on a voyage beneath the waves, down into the deep dark
ocean and back again. Folding out to nearly 2.5 metres, children
can look at all the different things the sub sees on its way, as it
travels past a shipwreck, through a coral reef, near to a pod of
orcas hunting for their lunch, close to a leatherback turtle
feasting on jellyfish, and past some rather strange deep-sea fish.

out from the main scene, with more expansive information about
submarines, ocean life and the dangers it is facing.

digital artwork depicts the splendors of eighteenth-century France
. . . a good addition to units on aviation and inventors."
--Booklist More than a century before the Wright Brothers invented
their plane, Josephand Etienne Montgolfier sent a flying machine
into the skies--a hot-air balloon with three animals in the basket.
Go up, up, and away with them on their first, magical journey! Back
in 1782, in Ardeche, France, lived Joseph Montgolfier, a dreamer
and an inventor who liked to learn about how everything worked.
When one day a gust of wind blew his papers into the fireplace, he
noticed that something lifted the pieces into the air--and he
realized that heat could make things rise. With the help of his
brother, Etienne, he began to experiment . . . and created a new
kind of flying machine: a hot-air balloon! This beautifully
illustrated picture book tells the story of how the balloon came to
be, King Louis XVI's visit to see it fly, and the three animals--a
rooster, a duck, and a sheep--who became its very first passengers.
