Weird Sea
'From the supernatural to the sublime, Weird Sea really is the weirdest of world tours and it is BRILLIANT!' The Little Literacy Society
What does the sea make you think of? Crashing waves, crumbling sandcastles . . . maybe a squawking seagull or two? Well, how about . . .
Ghost ships! Mega sharks! The Bermuda triangle! Zombie starfish! Psychic sea serpents! And don't even get us started on something called the Hot Tub of Despair . . .
You see, the sea is actually weird. Really weird. Not only is it full of amazing creatures and mini monsters, some of the world's most mind-blowing myths and legends revolve around the sea too.
So what are you waiting for? Come with our wonderful narrator, Shrimpy, and dive into some of the incredible secrets of our weird, wonderful and totally wild oceans.
Filled with brilliant facts and myths as well as hilarious illustrations in beautiful full colour, Weird Sea is the perfect gift for little explorers who can't wait to tell you DID YOU KNOW? and is the perfect antidote to boring kids non-fiction.
