Exploring the Deep Dark Sea (non-fiction)
Author & Illustrator: Gail Gibbons
Ages: 4-10
This book is good introduction to modern oceanography for children. It shows the submersibles and other equipment used by oceanographers use to make their discoveries. The book also shows the different ocean zones as the submersible dives deeper and deeper. Gail Gibbon's illustrations show the variety of ocean life that is encountered within each ocean zone.
Gibbons' drawings are basic but they do a good job of showing ocean life. She closes her book with a three page history of diving and ocean facts. Not a bad book, but some of the vocabulary will be difficult for the younger readers.
