Review

This book has some incredible facts about thing that you would find under water and under the Earth. Half of the book deals with the water, then when the book is flipped around, you get the under-Earth information. This definitely adds to the interest of the book. But what really makes the book is that it covers so many topics and uses speech bubble and drawings that are almost cartoonish. This graphic novel style approach makes this book very accessible to a variety of readers. On top of that the information isn't just about things in the US, it covers a variety of things from all over, I mean all under, the world. The only thing that took just a bit away from the book were some of the labels that weren't as clear as they could have been. Still this is a super interesting book that would be great in a classroom or in the hands of any an individual.

Overall Book Score: excellent
