review:
'Mission to the bottom of the Sea' by Jan Leyssens with illustrations by Joachim Sneyers is a picture book about a man who wanted to explore deeper in the ocean than anyone had before.

Almost 100 years ago the Bathysphere was invented by William Beebe and Otis Barton. William Beebe explored the ocean, but he wanted to see what was deeper. He put an ad in a paper a Otis Barton showed up to build a vehicle, but his one condition was that he go on the journey too.

I love how this story is told, but I especially loved the drawings. They have a quality to them that keeps the story interesting. I liked the addition of drawn plans and news articles.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Clavis Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
