Synopsis

Dive down if you dare and discover the world's strangest, scariest and most magnificent sea creatures in this breathtaking gift book from the University of Cambridge and Nosy Crow!

"Ralphs' exciting prose style, combined with great facts and images that really glow, makes for a view of the ocean that you'll be glad you can't see from a sun lounger this holiday" - The Guardian.**

Did you know there is a place on Earth that's hardly been explored at all? A place with near-freezing temperatures, crushing water pressure and total darkness?

Discover a magnificent menagerie of monsters that lurk deep down in our oceans - from sharks that can live for 500 years, to fish with teeth so long they can't close their mouths.

Find out about anglerfish, giant squid, goblin sharks, coffinfish, barreleyes and many, many more amazing creatures in this stunningly illustrated gift book that will delight, surprise and inspire on every page.

With awe-inspiring artwork from Kaley McKean and atmospheric, engaging text by Matt Ralphs, created in consultation with marine biologist Dr Helen Scales alongside Dr Roz Wade from the Museum of Zoology, University of Cambridge.

  1. Special neon inks throughout
  2. High-quality, sustainable paper
  3. Multi-embossed cover
  4. The perfect gift for any child aged 7+ with an interest in marine biology and zoology
