Dive into the depths and discover the mysteries of the world of water in this beautiful book for young readers.

From myths and legends, folklore and fables, to amazing discoveries, and undiscovered depths - children will love exploring the amazing world of water in this beautifully illustrated book for young readers.

Dive between the pages of Underwater World into the ocean depths to discover sunken lands, and sail in and out of legends laden with weird and wonderful monsters. This educational book for 7-9 year olds will teach curious children all about the ocean, magical creatures and mythology, mysteries and the unexplained.


Dive straight in with this educational book to discover:

- A variety of exciting topics surrounding water, including sunken cities, ghost ships, Ocean gods and goddesses, and mythical creatures such as the kraken, merpeople, selkies, and sirens.
- Most of the world's cultures that share mythology around water together in one place; from gods and goddesses to beasts of the deep.
- Exciting and informative text and beautiful hand-painted illustrations that bring the subject to life.

Water - it can be hard as rock, silky soft, and often barely there. We can't live without it, but can't breathe within it. This shape-shifting element washes in on our shores, pours on our towns, and winds through our fields. We are mostly made out of water, but how much do we really know about it? Children will love learning all about the world of water in this beautifully illustrated and colourful book.


At DK, we believe in the power of discovery.

So why stop there?
