Summary

This humorous investigation into marine biology and underwater technology inspires students to ask questions about environmental sciences, oceanography, climatology and shoreline processes.

Introduction

In You Know What, Jack Soufflé arrives on his research ship to learn that his crew has been unable to collect any plant specimens from a coral reef because their nets and equipment cannot reach deep enough. He opts to use a submersible to explore the deep reef even though the last time he was in his submarine, he encountered a frightening sea monster with twelve tentacles, six sets of eyes, fins, gills, three tails, a hard shell with claws and a giant mouth. Meanwhile under the water, a diverse group of friends, Seahorse, Dolphin, Stingray, Shark, Squid and Starfish play a lively game of tag until they come face to face with a dangerous creature of their own.
