EDITORIAL INFORMATION

Our planet is called Earth, but most of it is under water. A voyage of discovery takes you to this incredible, under-explored world. Travel through the "twilight zone" and slide down the continental slope to a vast abyssal plain. Meet giant sea spiders, and sneaky sea squirts. Visit the strange creatures that live by hot-water spouts, where molten lava melts the Earth's crust, and explore the slopes of underwater volcanoes. Finally, make a dive to the deepest place on Earth.

OUR REVIEW

Presenting the fascinating world of science to children can be a difficult task if it is done through general divulgative books. Publishing scientific books exclusively written for children is a magnificient idea.

This book in particular shows, by means of short texts easy to understand and attractive drawings in a children comic book style, the fascinating universe that exists under the sea. The most surprising data on the submarine environment, the creatures populating it, and the human feats in its exploration, are narrated in an attractive way by Bett, in a very successful summary, since it does not neglect any essential question without on the other hand resulting into a too dense text.

This book is an ideal present to satisfy the innate curiosity that children feel towards the world surrounding them.
