It's about science submarine ALVIN. It shows in time line from 8am till 5pm and how it went traveled under the see accomplishing the mission.

FLYING DEEP by Michelle Cusolito is an informational picture book exploring a deep-sea submersible.

In this engaging picture book, readers follow a pilot and scientists as they climb into their submersible and journey underwater for a day of scientific investigation. Young readers will be attracted to the realistic artwork and lyrical narration. Questions are woven throughout the story keeping readers active throughout.

The experience concludes with the story behind the book, an illustrator’s note, facts about the submersible, a glossary, organism list, and additional resources.

Librarians will find this book popular with children who enjoy sea exploration, science, and adventure. Integrate the book into the science curriculum and associate it with oceanography careers.
