 Rating: - A real classic story kids should read!A fancinating story for kids and all the ages! Should have a map and ocean fish handbook while reading it. The printing is little too small for kids. Rating:  - Never receivedI never received this item. The seller sent this item to my shipping address at my billing address. 2 different addresses as we do not receive mail at our house. Rating:  - should have read this earlierIf you don't know the story, it's about a naturalist, Professor Arronax, and his assistant on a quest to find the giant sea creature that's been menacing the seas.

This is a thought-provoking book, and I can honestly say that it's one of the best books that I have ever read in my whole life. There is much to be thought about in this book, and I intend to reread this book so I can appreciate it all over again. Truly, this book is one of these classics that must be preserved always, for the wonderful writing and lessons contained therein.
