Following on from the award-winning 'Real-life Dragons and their
Stories of Survival', read on to find out the fascinating stories
of ten real-life sea monsters! Around the world, sailors from
ancient times onwards have told stories of colossal deep-sea
creatures that capsized ships and terrorised crews. Far from home,
and often venturing into the unknown, however, it's no wonder
sailors put the dangers they faced down to the threat from sinister
sea beasts. The oceans are mysterious places, and the deep-sea is
one of the last places on Earth to be explored. So, while there may
be no such thing as a sea serpent or mermaid, there are plenty of
other weird and wonderful creatures lurking down there. Some of
these real-life animals are the inspiration behind the sea monsters
of myth. Others are so fantastical in their own right, it's
difficult to believe that they actually exist. This book brings
together 10 real-life sea monsters, with fascinating facts, figures
and folklore. There are also tales of how these extraordinary
creatures were discovered, and about their adaptations for
surviving in the wild. This high-interest approach to the natural
world shows the diversity of nature, evolution and adaptation and
can be used to support the science curriculum study of living
things at key stage two. Full-colour photographs combined with
illustrations make this a beautiful and fascinating introduction to
real-life sea monsters around the world.

Explore the Arctic Ocean in this beautifully illustrated children's
book for readers aged 9+ Perched at the northernmost tip of the
world, the icy Arctic Ocean is the smallest of Earth's oceans. Its
temperature rarely reaches above freezing and it is dotted with
thick pack ice and craggy icebergs. The people and animals that
live in this polar climate have uniquely adapted to make it their
home. But this precious habitat is at risk from our warming
climate, as well as pollution and industry. The oceans make up
Earth's biggest habitat. More than 70 per cent of Earth's surface
is covered by oceans and seas and they hold more than 97 per cent
of Earth's water supply. Oceans drive the world's weather, provide
half of the oxygen we breathe and provide food and livelihoods for
more than a billion people. Blue Worlds explores each of the
world's five oceans and major seas in detail, looking at the
different features - from wildlife and weather to landscape - that
make them all individual and unique. It also looks at the threats
that they face, such as global warming, overfishing and pollution.
