Deep, deep down at the bottom of the Mariana Trench lies a secret world. The reader goes on an imaginary trip in a submersible and learns about the different creatures that inhabit the ocean above the trench all the way down to the bottom depth of 36,037 feet.
Deep Deep Down fueled my fascination for the secret world of creatures at the very bottom of the ocean and was simple and easy for children to follow. I was pleased to find more detailed information about the trench at the back of the book. Dark lighted and detailed illustrations enhance the readers’ experience.
