Description: The true story of the invention, disasters, and adventures of the first bathysphere--a small, cramped, bare-bones spherical deep-sea submersible that set the world record for deepest dive in 1934.

Brief description: As a veteran illustrator, Ted Enik has applied his versatility to original children's book art as well as popular characters. He recently switched hats and is now happily writing (and rhyming) up a storm.

Review Quotes: nbsp;The word play is speedy and hits with a sense of ridiculousness while still sitting on fact and telling the tale of how the two men achieved their goals. It's never boring and raises more than a few eyebrows along the way. In other words, its a refreshing and fun way to bring across a piece of history.
