Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1
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.
