"Wonderfully exciting book for students, especially those with a yearning for adventure. This book demonstrates determination, creativity, and super teamwork to reach a goal. Students learn that they can actually view this "Bathysphere" at the New York Aquarium. Students interested in exploring the depths of the sea will be fascinated with the story of William Beebe and Otis Barron. The book inspires dreaming, daring, thinking, questioning and never giving up on your idea. Super book for all future daring explorers." - ITEEA "Very short and concise with cute illustrations. The deep ocean is something I'm fascinated by and wished it was explored more. It's a good introduction to the two men who helped discover new sea creatures at the time and the effort they made." - Erika Sarutobi "I loved this picture book because true stories of adventure and learning are so inspiring! The illustrations are beautiful, and I looked up more after reading the book!" - The Center for Gifted "Wow! I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never heard of any of this! I found this book to be both educational and entertaining. I really wish I’d had it when I taught the ocean zones. This would’ve been perfect and really engaging! I really liked the scrapbook style illustrations as well. Wonderful story!" - Heather Justus (Educator) "A great addition to a school library for students who are interested in learning about the oceans. This book focuses on William Beebe and Otis Barton who discovered fish in the depths of the ocean that had never been encountered before. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is easy to follow." - Antwerp International School
