Review: Peter Stone, photographer, author, bibliophile, and publisher, who has had over thirty years diving experience Oceans Enterprises, (oceans.com.au) Australia "I like to work on the 3E principle for a children's book (indeed most books) - it must Entertain, it must Educate and it must Encourage. This book satisfies all these needs. The images and story entertain, the theme and the world of Ruke is educational, and the written and illustrated glossary at the end will encourage a child to find out more about the world beneath the sea."
