About this title

Review:

"This updated version has retained most of the text and all of the poetry of the original. Lovely cut-paper collages placed on multicolored, watercolor ocean backgrounds make this easy-to-read title a treat for the eye."--"School Library Journal""Excellent offerings for young ones beginning to read nonfiction."--"Booklist"

From the Back Cover:

Starfish have arms, but no legs. They have feet, but no toes. When starfish get hungry, they slide, glide, and feel their way in search of something to eat.

Starfish aren't fish, but they are living animals. Learn how starfish move, eat, and grow in Edith Hurd's poetic text, illustrated with Robin Brickman's vivid watercolor collages. Read and find out all about starfish, the stars of the sea.
