There are millions of amazing things under the sea, and scientists believe that there are many, many more still waiting to be discovered.

This book contains exactly 1,000 things that are found in our oceans, from colorful fish and coral reefs to submarines and pirate shipwrecks.

The pictures are not drawn to scale. In real life, the blue whale on page 19 would be about 17 times longer than the scuba diver on page 28.

Every picture is labeled with its name, and there is a list of all the names at the back of the book.

Children need to add lots of words to their spoken vocabulary, and this fantastic look-and-talk book will provide them with plenty of opportunities to do so. Other titles in the series 1,000 Animals, 1,000 Things in Nature, and 1,000 Things That Go.
