“Down, down in the depths of the sunless sea, deep, deep in the cold, cold dark, creatures, strange and fearsome, lurk.”

Great informational book with cool illustrations

Published in 2016 this nonfiction book talks about the mystery of the deep depths below in our oceans. I really love the illustrations in this book and the informational text that goes along with it.

“Down, down in the depths of the sunless sea, deep, deep in the cold, cold dark, creatures, strange and fearsome, lurk.”

Although I think this story is a little too information heavy for young children, I have seen firsthand how much they love to see the fold out page that shows the giant squid. I think that this story is cool, and it will definitely be on my bookshelf in my classroom.

This nonfiction book talks all about a giant squid. Fleming actually paired up with a scientist to make this story! I think that the information is a little comprehensive for young children, but I can see children loving the illustrations. The book uses the mystery of the squid to set up how the book is presented.

this book was very interesting to me, because the illustrations extend a text or speak plainly for themselves without the author writing. and the total format of the book contributes to clarify the attractiveness of the book through flipping pages and intensity of the pictures.

I would use as my future classroom, because he keeps the children‘s attention by random pages opening to become bigger. If I was teaching a lesson about the ocean we could go through this book and it is easy to read.

And what lies behind the big? A dark hole... The mouth

“It's gone.“

I would use this book in a classroom because it is very informative and addresses students' questions and interests of the sea and the giant squid. It also could enhance their knowledge of the natural world.

This is a good nonfiction book because the language is vivid and interesting, especially to young children. It also presents the information clearly and directly.

“In the murk ... an eye! Round. Unblinking.”

This is definitely one of my favorites! I love the chart fo the Squid in the back that describes all the different parts. It is super simple to understand but also helps teach children more about the squid. It is also very credible because of the sources and who wrote it!

This non fiction book has the most amazing illustrations ever! It makes the story about the squid so much more intriguing because you want to see the pictures! It is all factual informations and in the back they have a diagram of the squid. I think this book would be great for children because it is fun but also has great information about giant squids.

“The tentacles seize their prey. They surround their thrashing meal. They latch on with powerful sucker-studded clubs.“

My favorite part about this book was for sure the illustrations of the giant squid!

Giant Squid by Candace Fleming was such an amazing book to read. The illustrations of the squid portrayed throughout this book were fantastic. It is a non fiction picture book about the giant squid. Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann explore both visually and poetically, this hidden creature's mysterious life. At the end of the book it also gives many facts about the body parts of the giant squid that you can learn about. Definitely worth reading!

I liked this page it was very dramatic

I would use this with maybe 2 nd or 3rd graders while talking about animals and what they eat

This is a robert f sibert honor book. This wasn‘t my favorite book, but I could see how it would be exciting for older kids.

This book is pretty awesome. It is a Robert Sibert Honor Book, and the illustrations and story itself are great for children(pub.2016). It is based on true events and a real creature.
The picture of the giant squid is drawn, but is based off real picture that people were able to get(very informative book). My favorite quote from this book is,
“You examine each piece, questioning and guessing, wondering at the weirdness, of these baffling beasts.“

Illustration- Using the title of the book after already starting the book was a interesting but smart choice.

Robert F. Sibert Honor Book. I loved this book. This was a very interesting read. The title of the book was 4 pages in. Some pages were just pictures. The whole book was a mystery just like the giant squid himself.

This book would be great for a science class to find kids interest.

“INK!”

A tale of a giant squid living in the depths of the ocean- only heard of but rarely seen!

Giant Squid by Candance Fleming and Eric Rohman, a siebert award winner, published in 2016 was very interesting to me. I really like how it was based off a real animal and included facts about the animal while making it interesting! I definitely learned without feeling like I was reading a text book or anything like that!

“Down, down in the depths of the sunless sea, deep, deep in the cold, cold dark, creatures, strange and fearsome, lurk.”

This book has beautiful pictures to go alone with the information on each page.
