Near the ocean surface, sea creatures live in a sunlit world. But what lurks far below the waves, where the water world dims? Meet the weird and wonderful glow-in-the-dark sea creatures that live in the deep ocean. Young readers will encounter the viperfish, that hunts with a blinking beacon to lead unsuspecting prey into its mouth; learn about the glowing fireworm, rising from the depths in a glowing cluster to search for a mate; discover how the bioluminescent vampire squid evades predators with its twinkling lights. Join author Donna B. McKinney and illustrator Daniella Ferretti on a thrilling journey to the mysterious, dark world of the deep sea, where fascinating creatures make their own light!
