About this title

Review

“A useful addition to a subject area that has a paucity of material on this level.” (School Library Journal)

“Large, clear, labeled pictures in pen-and-ink, watercolor, and pastel and a simple, informative text explain how scales and slime keep fish healthy, how their sleek shapes help them swim, what it means to be cold-blooded, etc. (Booklist)
