In this rhyming book sequel to Earth Space Moon Base, Monkey, Robot, and Deep-Sea Diver embark on a dangerous underwater quest. The illustrations are luscious and lend themselves to more detailed study. The mystery indicated in the opening rhyme is a hook for young readers. Annotation: (brief statement about the theme or scope of the work) Deep Sea Diver, Robot, and Monkey board a submarine, the Guppy, to delve into the darkest depths to discover what has taken the light from the sea.
