About this book

Did you know that oceans cover 70% of the surface of the Earth? This fantastic book invites you to dive in and discover the many watery wonders they contain. Guided by Shelly and her friend Bubbles the shark, readers are taken on a journey through various underwater environments and habitats, meeting incredible creatures and learning mind-blowing facts along the way. Expect to play with clown fish in coral reefs, drift with giants in the open ocean, and even brave the deepest depths of the midnight zone in a submersible – if you dare! 

This book is instantly appealing with bright, friendly illustrations and a super accessible comic-style format. The content is well-pitched and is broken up into bite-sized chunks, captions and infographics that children can enjoy at their own pace. Shelly and Bubbles are brilliant guides, and they introduce a range of topics that commonly feature in primary curricula, including the water cycle, biomes, evolutionary adaptations and more in a relatable and humorous way.

This punchy non-fiction book is a perfect choice for reluctant readers and would make a great addition to teaching sequences around ocean animals, biology or geography.
