Jim Curious: A Voyage to the Heart of the Sea 'With 2 Pair of 3-D Glasses', Hardcover

Descriere

Jim Curious portrays the fantastical story of a young boy and his thrilling trip to the bottom of the sea in an old-fashioned diving suit. But there are no words telling his tale--only intricately illustrated images in exceptional 3-D. On his journey, Jim initially passes the garbage tossed into the waters by land-dwellers, but soon he goes deeper and deeper, immersing himself in the wonders of the waters. He encounters sea creatures large and small, a sunken pirate ship, and even the rem-nant of what seems to be Atlantis, before coming upon a mysterious force at the bottom that turns everything on its head.
