About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is fascinated by the weird, the wild, or the slightly spooky side of nature. It is an ideal choice for the student who feels like a bit of an outsider, as it celebrates the beauty in creatures that are often labeled as monsters. Through stunning and scientifically accurate illustrations, the book introduces thirty-six unique inhabitants of the deep ocean, such as the translucent barreleye fish and the glowing vampire squid. Beyond being a biology resource, the book fosters a deep sense of wonder and respect for the unknown. It is perfect for children aged 7 to 12 who have graduated from basic animal facts and are ready for sophisticated terminology and complex ecosystems. Use this book to transform a fear of the dark or the unknown into a scientific exploration of adaptation and survival in the Earth's most mysterious frontier.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and scientific. It discusses predation and survival mechanisms (such as the sea worm dropping 'bombs') in a direct, factual manner. There is no focus on human-centric tragedy, though it touches on the harsh realities of a high-pressure, low-light environment.
