An anthology of aquatic life / written by Sam Hume ; illustrated by Angela Rizza and Daniel Long.

Hume, Sam, (author.). Long, Daniel (Illustrator), (illustrator.). Rizza, Angela, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Dive into the wondrous world of water and discover the stories of more than 100 incredible aquatic lifeforms. From the deepest, widest ocean to the tiniest puddle, this beautiful compendium takes young readers on an enthralling journey through the aquatic world, meeting amazing animals, ingenious plants, and much more along the way. Stunning photography and gorgeous illustrations complement storybook descriptions about each lifeform, and children can uncover hundreds of fascinating facts as they read. Did you know that elephant seals that can hold their breath underwater for more than an hour, or that the Victoria Amazonica water lily can support the weight of an adult, or that the brown basilisk reptile can run across water? Discover the science of how plants have learnt to live, feed, and breathe in water, and take a look at the unique challenges of distinct ecosystems on feature spreads about rivers, lakes, wetlands, and more. From sharks and sailfish, to bulrushes and beetles, there's something for everyone in this celebration of all things aquatic."-- Publisher's description.
