These are just some of the scientific facts, presented comics-style, that kids will pore over again and again. The Deep! is a rollicking survey of animals that live in the deepest part of the ocean created in an exciting graphic nonfiction format. The first-person commentary by the animals themselves cover a wealth of facts from the surface of the ocean to the darkest trenches. And the beautiful full-color illustrations bring them to life. From animal adaptations like bioluminescence and giant flashlight eyes to the habits and habitats of the Pram Bug and Dumbo Octopus, The Deep! will keep readers fully engaged with life at the bottom of the sea."--Ages 8-12950L

Whale Fall café / by Sewell, Jacquie,author.; Tavis, Dan,illustrator.(CARDINAL)834547;
Junior Library Guild"One medium-size whale carcass delivers as much food to the dark, cold ocean depths as 4,000 years of sinking food particles. When a dead whale arrives, the café opens for business. Hagfish, zombie worms, sleeper sharks--this group of patrons is stranger than the denizens of the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars. In this nonfiction picture book, a fish in a lab coat, piloting a deep-sea submersible, serves as guide to the weirdly fascinating goings-on miles beneath the ocean surface. The backmatter includes actual deep-sea whale-fall photos from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and other sources"--Provided by the publisher.Ages 5-7.Grades K-2.920LA Junior Library Guild selection

Into the deep : an exploration of our oceans / by Siems, Annika,1984-author,illustrator.(CARDINAL)814942; Dreyer, Wolfgang,1948-author.(CARDINAL)816665;
The secret of the deep sea -- Tiny creatures -- Krill: the food of the whales -- Diving -- The language of the deep sea -- Chamber of horrors -- Illuminated hide-and-seek -- Camouflage code red -- Amazing, invisible -- Hunters in the gloom -- Life under pressure -- Mammals of the deep sea -- Mysterious giants -- At the ocean floor -- Underwater garden -- The oceans are in danger.Immerse yourself in a strange and beautiful world as you journey from the beach to the depths of the ocean floor. Beneath the surface of the ocean lies a mysterious and astounding world that few people ever get to see. This book merges breathtaking art with the latest scientific research to take readers on a fantastic voyage on the submarine Marine Snow, where they meet blue whales, vampire squid, viper fish, and a giant sea spider. They'll learn about bioluminescence, Radiolaria, and coral reefs, discovering incredible facts about the marine world. Annika Siems's illustrations vibrate with color and detail, even as they convey the mystery of a place with scant natural light. From the smallest plankton magnified by thousands, to the most enormous whale, captured on a single page, the sea's denizens are recreated with spectacular precision and artistry. Marine biologist Wolfgang Dreyer's text brings the ocean to life--whether he's describing a transparent jellyfish or the way colors disappear from view as you descend to the ocean floor. A feast for the eye and the mind, this stunning book helps us comprehend a massive, mostly unfamiliar part of our world--one that flourishes with life and beauty.1010L1010L
