I'm not sure what to call this kind of art, but it reminds me of paper mache and Eric Carle's style of paper illustrations but almost realistic. The book follows a decent into the sea to examine the lifestyle and physical features of aquatic life.
The book is great for studying animal adaptations and what is necessary for these unique creatures to thrive and survive. I was interested to reading about bioluminescence. I had heard of it, but was stunned to learn it is the most common type of animal communication on earth. It makes sense since over 2/3 of the world is covered in water up to 2.5 miles deep. One awesome feature of the book is when it presents the creatures and discusses bioluminesence on one page, then repeats the illustration in its lit up form.
