Set your spirit of adventure free with this journey to the world's
great oceans, discovering the diversity of life that exists in the
deep blue sea. Whether you're traveling long haul with leatherback
turtles across the Pacific, snoozing with sea otters or ice bathing
with a walrus, this book celebrates the very prescient topic of the
world's oceans with LucyLetherland's animal characters. Each
section begins with an infographic map of the ocean it
explores--Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern and Arctic--followed
by richly detailed two-page spreads exploring its depths and the
denizens within, as well as seabirds, coral reefs and shoreline
critters. Discover saltwater crocodiles lurking in the Andaman
Islands, hammerheads gathering in the Atlantic, and the
awe-inspiring colossal squid that calls the Ross Sea home. Lucy
Letherland's illuminating artwork shows how these oceans teem with
life, forming part of complex and fascinating ecosystems, all in a
quirky, characterful style. Interesting facts and figures pepper
the scenes. Did you know that spinner dolphins can swim up to 400
kilometers a day? Or that some sea snails can grow up to half a
meter long? Or that in the deepest depths, fish can glow in the
dark? A natural history lesson in an adventure book, each spread
features 10 captions and and facts about every destination. The 5th
title in the best-selling Atlas of Adventures series that has now
been translated into 31 languages. A 'Can you find?' page at the
back challenges you to explore the pages even deeper by locating
the pictured scenes and scene-stealers. Children and adults alike
will be amazed by the incredible creatures that await in the
world's oceans.
