. Coast watch. Marine resources; Oceanography; Coastal zone management; Coastal ecology. CREEPY BOOKS FOR KIDS: • Monsters of the Deep, by Stewart Ross (Copper Beech Books, ISBN 0- 7613-0548-3). More than a book about sea monsters, Monsters of the Deep introduces kids to narwhals, icebergs, whales, piranha, tsunamis and much more. Each page is a collage of colorful drawings, photo- graphs and tidbits of interesting information, such as myths from around the world about sea monsters and sea gods. The book's approach is to illustrate fictions perpetuated by myths, fables, literature and films and then give kids the realities. As a bonus, young readers will learn some memorable facts; for example, more people die each year from bee stings than shark bites. Though the text only highlights each subject in a paragraph or two, the book will likely encourage curious kids to search the library or surf the Internet to discover. By Laighton Taylor Photographed by Norbert Wu more about subjects from human history to ichthyology, literature to natural phenomena. • Creeps From the Deep, by Leighton Taylor (Chronicle Books, ISBN 0-8118-1297-9). The befanged viperfish has a face only an alien could love. The tubular- eyed hatchetfish has — jeepers, creepers! — peepers that can look in many directions. These bizarre fish are just two of the creepy deep-sea- dwelling critters highlighted in Taylor's book. With large, clear photographs by underwater master Norbert Wu, this book could spawn a few nightmares in younger kids. But it will surely delight school-aged children with its anecdotes of life at 30,000 feet below the surface. Concise yet comprehensive in scope, the book touches on topics from biolumines- cence to submersibles to living in deep- sea pressure. The text is written intelligently and does not sensational- ize or trivialize the subjects. Even parents will want to sneak some time for themselves with the book. ? COASTWATCH 29.
