Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Follow the fascinating journey of Captain Nemo and explore the ocean's wonders, both real and imagined ... or are they?
What if a sixteen-year-old assistant traveled aboard the storied Nautilus, the narwhal-shaped submarine of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? And what if he were the sole survivor of the ill-fated voyage and went on to relay his adventures to a certain . . . Jules Verne? Find this brave young man's own account in the lavishly illustrated Oceanology , a tale of an 1866 voyage of discovery that investigates diving bells and shipwrecks; coral reefs and ice canyons; sharks, giant octopi, and luminous sea monsters; underwater volcanoes, and even the legendary island of Atlantis.
Presented as a scrapbook with liftable flaps, stuffed envelopes, and other attached or detached items. Front cover includes a porthole cut-out over a 3-D picture of an octopus on the title page.
Purports to be the journal of Zoticus de Lesseps, written on an ill-fated 1863 voyage accompanying Captain Nemo to explore the mysteries of the deep sea.
Suitable for age 6 and up.
