Find out how a submarine works in this interactive book with flaps and holes.
Lift flaps and peep through holes to explore with a little sub on a deep-sea dive. Find out how the sub works by opening it up and peeping inside at the cockpit and the ballast tanks, and help the crew collect deep-sea samples using the mechanical arms. There's lots to learn about marine life, too - investigate what an octopus is guarding, meet a hammerhead shark and switch off the sub lights to see all the glowing creatures in the dark.
Lara has been learning how to grow a book since 2016, following a degree in English and Italian at Oxford and teaching jobs in Italy and Myanmar. From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every minute of the job.
