Read and find out about how a fish's body is perfectly designed for
life in water in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.
You can't breathe underwater, but a fish can. You can't eat underwater,
but a fish does every day. Named a Best Children's Science Book of the
Year by Science Books & Films, this picture book features graceful text
that invites young readers to imagine what it's like to have gills,
fins, and scales. Simple, fun diagrams help explain concepts like how
fish use their gills to breathe underwater.
This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age
kids, both at home and in the classroom. It includes an additional
activity for kids to set up their very own goldfish bowl. Both text and
artwork were vetted for accuracy by Dr. Valerie Chase, formerly of the
National Aquarium in Baltimore, and Raymond Klinger and Ernest Tresselt
of Huntington Creek Fisheries.
