Dive, Dive, into the Night Sea will take the reader on an underwater adventure. Journey to the inky depths, down to the coral where an array of sea creatures live. Will you be brave enough to turn off the light and explore the darkness? When the time comes to leave, swim back up, past the whales, to the surface.
Children will find this book exciting, not just for the story adventure, but because of the different positioning of the spine. The book is landscape and opens along the long edge, adding scope and depth to the illustrations. The illustrations cleverly show how things appear in the dark, with only a flashlight illuminating the surroundings. Each page has a lift the flap which extends the illustrations but also includes relevant sea facts linked to the story.
Overall a really engaging story and perfect to use alongside the teaching of habitats and environments, as well as page and book presentation.
