Steve Jenkins
Down, Down, Down: A Journey to the Bottom of the Sea
Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Earth Science
- Life Science
- Story / Adventure
Steve Jenkins structures the book as one continuous descent from the sunlit ocean surface to the seafloor, with each page revealing a stranger animal and a deeper zone. The scale-driven collage journey makes ocean depth and deep-sea adaptations feel like discoveries along a voyage rather than entries in a reference book.
The science inside
- Oceans & Marine Life
Your child will meet:
- Ocean conditions change with depth as sunlight fades and water pressure rises.
- Deep-sea animals have structures and behaviors suited to darkness, scarce food, and extreme pressure.
- Different ocean depths support different communities of marine life.

Parent effort: Quick discussion
Half the earth's surface is covered by water more than a mile deep, but most of this watery world is a mystery to us. In fact, more people have stood on the surface of the moon than have visited the deepest spot in the ocean. Come along as we travel down, down, down, from the surface to the bottom of the sea. Along the way you can see jellyfish that flash like a neon sign, creatures with teeth so big, they can't close their mouths, and even a squid as long as a bus, which battles to the death with a sperm whale, the largest predator on earth. It'll be a journey you won't soon forget! Award-winning author-illustrator Steve Jenkins delivers another masterful collection of fascinating facts and amazing art.
