Very little is known about creatures that live in the deepest depths of the ocean. This unique book brings these deep-sea creatures to light for little eyes with simple descriptions so that an interest in the natural mysteries and wonders of our world might be explored by the very young, very early. As with other natural science board books from publishers like Flying Eye Books and Sourcebooks, our plan is to create a series of board books so that each might support the other. This will be the first in Eye of Newt's series of board books, YIKES!, which will explore the strange and unusual with simple, playful language in full-color, charming illustration. This title aims to tap into an audience that is interested in less conventional animal books for their young readers. As opposed to the "farm animal" books and standard "under the sea creature" books we're dredging up the deep and creepy and presenting it in a fun and friendly way, offering a little something new (like the vampire squid!). Written by the all-star Kelly Ward-Wills, children's editor and author of Alphabet of Unloved Beasts!Illustrated by Steven James, illustrator of the Super Happy Bears series and Thunder Down Under.

This timeless classic is revisited by the deft charcoal work of Ashly Lovett.
