Travel deep into the ocean, way below the surface, and you'll encounter some creatures you never knew existed! This audiobook takes you on a journey through the dark depths of the sea toward the ocean floor. Most ecosystems need sunlight, but deep in the ocean, where the sun doesn't shine, animals have adapted some very interesting ways to see, protect themselves, and eat. Discover the unique habitats, adaptations, and food chains of these deep-sea creatures.

Astro is a stellar Steller sea lion! Only a few days old when found orphaned, he is cared for and raised at The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California. When big enough to be released to the wild where he needs to be, he has other plans! Just like a lost dog finding his way home, Astro keeps swimming back toward the center, crossing miles of open ocean water to do so. After several attempts, people realize that Astro is too accustomed to humans and will just keep coming back.

What if Jack and Jill had been playing on a nice soft sand dune instead of that treacherous hill? And suppose Mary's pet wasn't really a lamb. What if Mary had a little...clam?

An activity on adaptations is included in the "For Creative Minds" section.

This is a companion audiobook to Mary Alice Monroe's novel Swimming Lessons, the sequel to The Beach House.

Adults and children will enjoy the information and the journal with or without the novel.

With their long tusks, narwhals are unique whales that live in the Arctic Ocean. But as climate change causes global temperatures to rise, less and less sea ice is covering the Arctic Ocean each year. Narwhals are left vulnerable without the ice, which historically provided them with safe areas to roam out of reach of their natural predators, killer whales. And humans are taking advantage of the clearer water, searching and drilling for oil and hauling cargo.

Dive into the ocean where killer whales and penguins swim. Killer whales, called orcas, and king penguins both live in freezing Antarctica. Giant orcas hunt in groups and kill prey with their many teeth. King penguins are much smaller than orcas, but their speed and agility help them get away. Explore their traits and skills to find out which animal would win in a fight!
