Book Talk:
Join the crew of Captain Nemo's submarine, the Nautilus.
This richly illustrated book introduces you to the oceans of our world, and how people set about exploring them.
Professor Aronnax shows you the various ships that have been used throughout history to help people explore the great, wide world that exists just off the edge of the land.
Find out more about the oceans, currents, and life at all levels of the ocean.
Find out how people first dived down to the bottom of the ocean and what their diving suits looked like.
Discover how animals live deep in the ocean where there is no light.
What are ocean currents? How are they formed? Where do they come from and where do they go?
This book takes you on an in depth tour of the ocean and how people have explored, discovered, and interacted with it for thousands of years.
Note From Bettina:
In case if you're wondering, yes, this is the same Professor Aronnax and ship that is in the classic 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The pictures in this book are amazing, richly illustrated, and engaging. This would be an awesome book for reluctant or struggling readers who are fascinated by ships, oceans, and sea life.
