Down, Down, Down

At first glance, Steve Jenkins’ peek at the largely invisible world under the sea resembles any other picture book. But the real value of Down, Down, Down is its words—the small paragraphs accompanying each page of striking artwork that reveal truly startling facts about the underwater world. Sunlight, for example, all but disappears at the relatively shallow depth of 660 feet. With each page, we descend deeper into the darkness, through thousands and thousands of feet of teeming sea life before reaching the ocean floor. Because most of our world is water, and most of this water is pitch-black, “bioluminescence”—the light creatures emit in this netherworld—“is the most common form of animal communication on earth.” Another fun fact: Most sea creatures are filled with fluid, as any cavity would otherwise collapse under the pressure of the water overhead. The format may be childlike, but the content is pretty grown-up—this thoroughly fascinating book is for slightly older kids who like to think deep thoughts.

Fear Factor: (Only a few of the fish are particularly frightening-looking.)
Heart: (This book is for the mind, not the heart.)
Attitude: (Curiosity is the attitude elicited.)
Psst: Be sure to check out your relative depth on the bar on the side of each page.
If you like this: Broaden your perspective with Zoom by Istvan Banyai, a picture book that mimics the effect of going from a telephoto to wide-angle lens within a camera's viewfinder.
