Deep, Deep DownThe Secret Underwater Poetry of the Mariana Trenchby Lydia LukidisThis book is magnificent! Nothing like the intrigue of the Mariana Trench to excite and fascinate people, especially kids! The secretive, overwhelming trench, and it's hidden occupants, spur the imagination! This book breaks down the trench into zones and who lives where.This book has incredible lifelike artwork and heightens the interest to what else may live in the dark depths. The book also has small information boxes in most pages with additional information about what is showing.The awesome art together with the info makes this a tremendous find! Can't recommend this enough!I want to thank the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this terrific book!
