Some call the ocean “the Final Frontier” because there is still so much we don’t know about the life below the waves. This book describes some familiar sea creatures, but also brings up less-known and unusual sea-life. When I read about the Barreleye Fish (it has a transparent head) and the Hagfish (also called “snot fish”) I wanted to go explore the deep for myself. Who knows what other wonders are waiting for us! This book gives great information on many sea creatures and creates curiosity to learn more. I still can’t make up my mind which is “the most amazing creature in the sea.”
