Dive into the world’s oceans, exploring sunlit coral reefs, wide open seas, and the murky depths to meet 36 magnificent ocean creatures.

Take a journey through oceans and seas to discover 36 magnificent marine animals, from the immense blue whale to speedy flying fish. Encounter fierce predators like the great white shark and orca, as well as truly bizarre creatures such as the giant clam and the sea slug.

During your watery adventure, find out how whales communicate with each other, where sea turtles sleep, and how sea stars eat. Marvel at the hooded seal’s extraordinary air bag and the humpback anglerfish’s glowing ‘fishing rod’. Learn how the sea otter uses a tool to crack open shellfish and why the queen parrotfish is an expert reef-cleaner.

With stunning illustrations, intriguing facts, and full-colour, poster-sized illustrations, this is the ideal reference for all the family.

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED: Vibrant, detailed images bring these fascinating ocean creatures to life.

FASCINATING FACTS: Includes hundreds of illuminating facts in an easy-to-read format that will enthrall animal-lovers of all ages.
