Accinetti, supported by Zaffaroni, takes us from the surface of the ocean down to its deepest depths, meeting a few of the animals that inhabit each zone along the way. 

The text is advanced enough that it works best for older students. Even though it looks like a picture book, it is rich in information about the different oceanic spheres.
