"The Deep" is an illustrated children's book with a straight forward text by Tim Winton. Alice, who at the beginning of the book is afraid of the deep sea, ends by overcoming that fear. A simple message in an unremarkable book.

This is my review of The Deep, not to be confused with The Deep, The Deep, The Deep, The Deep, or The Deep.
Realistic art portrays the story of a young girl who is afraid to swim in deep water, despite the assurances of her family, until she is unwittingly lured there by some dolphins. I don't know that it will do anything to affect any child's fear of swimming in the ocean, but the art is lovely.
What I really wanted to know upon reading this was, where the heck can a family live in a run-down shack of a house right on the beach and swim with dolphins right off the shore, without any tourism development in sight! The answer is: Australia. This takes place in Australia, where there is reportedly 500m of beach for every person on the continent. So jealous.
