A picture book that takes the reader on a journey all the way through the sea from one shore to another far across the world. From a bustling bright coral reef (by day and by night), it takes you out into the open sea to swim alongside giant whales, and diving down and down to discover what lives in the deepest darkest part of the ocean.

Brush water over the stylish, black and white patterns and underwater scenes and watch the vibrant colours magically appear to reveal sharks, sea turtles, jellyfish, a school of tropical fish and lots more. There’s a handy flap at the back of the book to stop paint seeping through to the page below and 16 detailed scenes to paint.
