This lavishly illustrated, fact-filled atlas-a follow-up to Maps of the World-allows children to discover the fascinating and mysterious world below sea level.
Covering every ocean and major sea in the world, MAPS OF THE WORLD'S OCEANS is a vibrant and comprehensive atlas that children of all ages will love to explore.
The dozens of colourful, detailed maps are filled with hundreds of illustrated icons highlighting creatures that inhabit the waters of the world from deep-ocean sharks to sea birds that rely on the water to survive.
