What a stellar book! The information is detailed without being overwhelming, and the illustrations are so engaging. This book would be great for elementary and middle schoolers and is a great addition to this series.

Another great addition to the science comics series. Learn more about the deep sea (and seahorse procreation) with this cute title. I love having titles like these available for young readers in the library.

This series is so popular with my young and middle grade readers that I was excited to read this title before them! I understand the draw to these books as this was informative and funny and the illustrations are great. As Charlie the seahorse tries to teach his son, Ryder, how not to be afraid of the ocean, they take a trip to the deep and see some truly scary-looking, but ultimately friendly, denizens of the deep. I loved all the sea creatures and learned about a couple new ones, including the enormous oarfish, and still can't get over the monkey lips of a sperm whale! I look forward to recommending this book to all my young nature lovers this fall. Thank you to First Second Books and NetGalley for the early access in exchange for my honest opinion.

Like all the other books in this series Deep-Sea Creatures does a great job at providing information to kids in an easily digestible and understandable format. I really appreciated that it was a father seahorse showing his offspring around the sea and introducing them to all sorts of fun and interesting animals. The explanation about ambergris was especially funny as it was followed up by "Humans are so weird.." We all know the gross-but-true books are big circulators as well so this will fit right in!
As always my library and my kids really enjoy this series and this is another great one to add to the collection. We are very excited for it to come out next year!
