Down, Down, Down: A Journey to the Bottom of the Sea
by Steve Jenkins

Did you know that half of the Earth is under water that is more than a mile deep? Did you know that more humans have walked on the moon than have been to the deepest part of the sea? Unbelievable, right? Travel through the various levels of the oceans and get an up-close look at some of the amazing creatures that live there.

The ocean is an ever-popular subject with readers of all ages. This nonfiction work is quite accessible for elementary-school readers and Jenkins' breathtaking artwork doubles the appeal of this book. A great resource for research and pleasure reading alike, I have no doubt that this will be a favorite among my students.
