Steve Jenkins is a Caldecott award winning children's authorhis book Down, Down, Down displays a top-to-bottom look at the ocean, from birds and waves to underwater vents. Half the earth's surface is covered by water more than a mile deep, but most of this watery world is a mystery to us. It is a fact that more people have stood on the surface of the moon than have visited the deepest spot in the ocean. Steve Jenkins takes you along the book travels down, down, down, from the surface to the bottom of the sea. Along the way you can see the marine life that inhabits the ocean, jellyfish that flash like a neon signs, creatures with teeth as big as their bodies and even a squid as long as a bus, which fights to the death with a sperm whale, the largest predator on earth. This book is great for science lessons and animal acticities, the artwork is excellent and keeps the reader wanting more.
