First Book series.
The deep and shallow ocean environments profiled in these books host a variety of living creatures from tiny plankton to giant oarfish. Both texts focus on the structural adaptations that make survival in harsh conditions possible. Color photographs of the unusual-looking animals greatly enhance the text in each book. Bib., glos., ind.

First Book series.
Gowell presents a clear and interesting description of how deep-sea vents are formed, how they were first discovered, and what unusual animals live beside them. The captioned color photographs of the deep sea are interesting but grainy, and would have been more informative if labels and scales were included. Both English and metric units are used throughout. Bib., glos., ind.
