Synopsis
Dive into this exciting story of the deep sea. Young readers will meet Dr. Sylvia Earle, a marine biologist. Her life-long love of the water has taken her to the depths of the Pacific Ocean and led to her greatest adventure-diving 3,000 feet down. Readers will explore the underwater world with Dr. Earle, learn the features of the great oceans, and discover the different plants and animal that thrive well beyond the sun's reach. Full-color photographs, along with a map, diagram, and timeline will further engage the young deep-sea diver in every student.Editorials
School Library Journal
Gr 3-5-These books investigate some of the world's most extreme locations and introduce readers to an individual who has spent time in each environment and endured its harsh conditions. The appealing layout is sure to capture children's interest. They will enjoy picking up these stories of survival and examining the colorful photographs. From the termite-eaten clothing of Yossi Ghinsberg (Rain Forests) to the missing fingers of Temba Tsheri Sherpa (Mountains), readers will find the pictures simply fascinating. While the story about each survivor should be new to most students, the information about each location is somewhat basic. Still, the texts are suitable for instructional purposes. Diagrams, illustrations, graphs, maps, and sidebars are all examples of features now included in state testing. These books should appeal to most young readers, and the text features provide many teaching opportunities.-Anne L.
