Reader Reviews

Exciting and awesome.
I am 8 and I think this book shows everything that is under the sea and there are some very interesting facts. I love under the sea because of all the animals and all the beautiful colours with the turquoise sea and and coral. I also love looking under the flaps because the drawings are great and there is just so much information. This is one of my favourites of all Usborne books.
