A children's non-fiction book about ocean habitats that places the reader in the diving mask of an ocean explorer.
Young adventurers are taken on an intrepid journey around the world to discover five incredible oceans. Starting in the Arctic, they will explore Røst Reef, the world's largest cold water coral reef before moving gradually into warmer waters in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and finally the icy Southern Ocean.
Using clever die-cuts and gatefold pages, the book explains how oceans form, the difference between a sea and an ocean, water zones, tides and currents, and reveals some truly astonishing species, from sea squirts and killer whales to the telescope octopus.
Written by children's non-fiction author Rachel Elliot, this book features fascinating facts and immersive descriptions in combination with novelty pull-outs, expedition logs and infographics to bring oceans to life.

This is a really interesting book with lots of information about how oceans work. I loved the pictures and it even had flaps to lift up to find out more!
There is an Ocean in This book is a really good book with lots of bright pictures, loads of information and flaps which you can lift up to find out more facts!
It tells you all about the different oceans and some extra information about cool places underwater. We learnt about oceans at school but I still learnt loads from this book! Did you know that the moon makes the ocean move? My favourite part of the book was the bit that talks about the Mariana Trench which is the deepest part of the ocean. The deep sea creatures that live there must be really strong to survive the pressure of all the water pushing down on them! I think being down so deep would be extremely scary because it would be so dark.... Read Full Review
Colourful and packed full of facts.
I liked this book because the pictures are so cool. There is lots of facts about the different oceans in it. I liked the fold out pages and the pages about the different oceans. The pictures were so nice to look at.
The part about the great barrier reef was my favourite with the facts about the deadly creatures and seeing all the colourful fish and coral.
As a parent it was very informative and went well with the learning going on at school for world ocean day!... Read Full Review
