An illustrated guide to creatures of the deep

Lindy Mattice’s guide brings together more than 75 deep-sea creatures in a visual reference format. Vintage zoological illustrations accompany facts, charts and taxonomic trees, giving the book several ways to organize its subject: through individual animals, visual detail and classification. The publisher describes its scope as the fish class, using the term broadly for animals that live in water. That combination makes the book an introduction to ocean animals as well as a browsable collection of illustrations and information.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in ocean animals and fish.
  • Young readers who enjoy illustrated nonfiction and visual reference books.
  • Readers curious about animal classification and zoological illustration.
