Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-An eclectic, brief compilation of ocean mysteries. The book includes the Titanic sinking, treasure found on the ocean floor, identification of shipwrecks, unusual fish in deep water, Cleopatra's submerged shrine, hydrothermal vents, and volcanic action under the sea. The text, which is too generalized and consists of tidbits of loosely connected information, does not progress logically from one idea to another, so that each section could appear in any order. Though beautifully illustrated with vibrant color photography and "see-through pages," the package as a whole is disappointing.

This review is from: Secrets of the Deep (DK Revealed) (Hardcover)

My five-year-old is into science these days, and this book appealed to him in the library. It's definitely for older kids, but he loved it so much that I ordered it for him. I also love it--have learned many new facts about the deep ocean. The acetate pages are a fun feature. Super interesting.
