Can you recommend a non fiction book re deep dea creatures for dc?

[JoyceDivision]

DC is 7, massive non fiction fan, got afew books re sea / deep dea/ugly creatures, loves jellyfish, squid, spider crabbs etc..

This is whhat he has and is typical of what he loves to read.

DC2 is getting the Harry potter from page to screen book as a suprise gift at Christmas, and it is a biiig book, so I want to find DC an equivalent chunky volume re sea creatures. It doesn't have to be aimed at young children, but he loves pic of the creatures and digestable info..

Thanks!!!

Ooh there's an amazing kind of book with sort of holographic pictures and lots of text , and one is called Ocean. I'd love to get it for Octonauts mad ds. Will try to find link...

www.amazon.co.uk/Ocean-Photicular-Book-Books/dp/076118051 this is it. I saw it in a bookshop and was amazed :)

ooh I 've never heard of them before so thanks

Not non-fic, and probably desperately un-PC these days, but there's a couple of Willard Pruce books that cover this kind of thing - Underwater Adventure and maybe Pacific Adventure? Don't even know if they're in print these days.

What about Blue Planet? It was a BBC show a couple of years ago and there is an accompanying book that has amazing pictures.

I love mumsnet, you are all fab!
