By: Jessica Stremer | Illustrator:  Gordy Wright | Series: Books for a Better Earth 
An outstanding STEM picture book documenting the transformation of an aircraft carrier that was gutted and turned into the world’s largest artificial reef.

What happens when something designed to be unsinkable gets bombed to the bottom of the ocean floor? With careful preparation, new life can take root!

This incredible story brings young readers along on the journey of the aircraft carrier USS Oriskany—the Mighty O—as it gets stripped down to a steel shell for a new life below the waves. After 25 years of service, launching more aircraft than any other carrier of its time, the ship found a new mission as an artificial reef off the coast of Florida. The Mighty O was prepped and reefed by a team of more than 150 scientists, engineers, and technicians. Today, it is home to a flourishing variety of marine animals. 

Designed to encourage regrowth and protect vulnerable marine life, artificial reefs are a crucial tool in the fight against overfishing, pollution, and warming water temperatures. Extensive back matter reveals more about the Mighty O’s history, the diseases eating away at the world’s natural reef systems, and the role artificial reefs play under the sea, and budding marine biologists will love poring over the exquisite illustrations.

Books for a Better Earth are designed to inspire children to become active, knowledgeable participants in caring for the planet they live on.

Smelled great in the bag
I'm not sure how well these work, but they smell great. When I received the bag, a couple of the drops had popped leaving a mess inside. I ended up returning them.

Love the Fresh Smell and Effectiveness!
I absolutely love these garbage disposal cleaners! The scent is fantastic – it leaves my kitchen smelling fresh and clean every time I use them. Not only do they have a great smell, but they also do an excellent job of cleaning and deodorizing my garbage disposal. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that these cleaners are eliminating any lingering odors and buildup in my disposal, leaving it clean and fresh for the next use. Plus, they're so easy to use – just drop one in, run the disposal, and voila! Instant freshness. This is the third time I've purchased these garbage disposal cleaners, and I'll definitely continue to buy them in the future. They're a staple in my cleaning routine, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an effective and convenient solution for keeping their garbage disposal smelling fresh.

Delicious Scent. Non greasy! Buyvit!
Scent: Lemon Cream, Size: 3.3 Ounce (Pack of 3)
This is the first time buying this brand or scent. Instant love. I'm actually pretty sensitive to perfumes, but this particular scent is a soft, gentle lemon. My husband was hugging me and said "mmm what's that?" "Oh just some new lemon hand creme".."mmmm lemon good!". So it passed the husband's test! I love the scent,nbut quality of this creme is exceptional. Shea butter makes this creamy and smooth I have very dry skin cause i live in the desert. Non greasy. Can't say enough good things about this lotion. I also have anthŕ scent
