Karl the kiwi bird is our guide to explore the oceans and the crafts that take us there. Highly educational. I learned quite a bit about submarines, history of submarines and the ocean.

Okay, this was really cool. I don't know much about submarines (most people probably don't!) so it was fascinating to read this little book about the history of submarines and the different kinds. —Lisa D., NetGalley-Reviewer
This was a really informative book for both my son and I. I realized I didn't know a lot about submarines prior to reading this book. Each page is full of fun illustrations and engaging text. I especially enjoyed the pages discussing the different zones of the ocean. Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in submarines! —Carla W., NetGalley-Reviewer
This is a Children's book that I read with my twin boys. My boys really loved all the facts in this book. I think the pictures were very well done, and the facts were very interesting. My boys really loved this book so much. —NetGalley-Reviewer
This is a wonderful one for all of your sciencey kids, the ones who want to know *how stuff works* (that would be me). Very detailed diagrams and text all about submarines, ocean pressure and other science, the history of ocean diving, and even some about its future. A wonderful and educational read. —Shonatiger, Blogger
