Way Down Below Deep Published by Nancy Raines Day a novel I was sent to review. I would like to let you know the thoughts in this review are mine and my families.
Way Down Below by Nancy Raines Day can be found inside this years Christmas Gift Guide. I sat down to read Way Down Below because I knew David and Charlie would enjoy Way Down Below .
Way Down Below is about Fish and creatures in the deep blue sea. The story was interesting and has lots of useful information Charlie can share with his friends at school.
Once again I will be wrapping Way Down Below and putting them under the Christmas Tree. Once Charlie opens Way Down Below I will sit down with Charlie and David and help them read Way Down Below and come back and share there thoughts with you.
As for my thoughts I think Way Down Below will be enjoyed by people of all ages. The drawings in Way Down Below are gorgeous and would make wonderful pictures for a Museum or a childrens room.
If you home schooled your children Way Down Below would make a nice addition because Way Down Below has facts on each page.
A the back of Way Down Below is more facts. You could use Way Down Below to teach reading, art and science.
If your child’s school doesn’t have Way Down Below it would make a nice gift for the teacher as well as the librarian. As for my family I will purchase Way Down Below to give to the children in our neighborhood because Way Down Below instills reading into the kids and they can act Way Down Below out and have something to hand down to there children.
From the Inside Flap
Come along down to the deep ocean, one of the most unexplored places on our planet. What could live in complete darkness, under crushing water pressure, where temperatures run barely above freezing-or way past boiling?
Submersible vehicles can observe, film, and collect samples where humans cannot go, and scientists have discovered thousands of unknown species-and believe there may be millions more. They continue to learn how many of the deep ocean’s alien-looking creatures survive and thrive in this challenging environment.
In these pages, you will face a giant squid, once a legendary sea monster; look a fangtooth in its terrifying mouth; meet a vampire squid that is not after blood; see tiny worms that munch on a whale skeleton for a hundred years; and greet a grazing herd of sea cucumbers.
Author Nancy Raines Day has spun careful research into this rollicking rhyme, and David Sheldon’s accurate illustrations capture the mystery of this place and its creatures. Together, they give children a memorable introduction to life that thrives way down below deep.
