I book that my six year old daughter came home with from the school library. The book jacket is beautiful showing a diver in a kelp forest. The illustrations are gorgeous and I have actually done scuba diving in a kelp forest so the pictures reminded me of my adventures under the sea. Ben is out

Here is a picture book with very dry prose, and lots of it too. Ben is fishing, his fishing line gets tangled, and he has to dive down to untangle it. While doing this, he discovers how amazingly beautiful it all is. The illustrations are very good, but the book in general is a bit weird.
