Review Quotes:
"If you want to learn about fish, this is your book! The pictures are amazing, and the illustrations are easy to understand. I really liked the 'science in action' activities and meeting incredibly beautiful, and some weird, fish. It'll make you want to go for a swim with your goggles on!" --Jaime Thom, school programs manager, South Carolina Aquarium "Kevin is one of the best educators I know and simply makes learning fun! This new book is no exception. Packed with information exploring the cool and unique lives of fish, this is definitely a must-have for all fish lovers, young and young at heart!" --Shelley Dearhart, fisheries scientist and educator "This book contains an excellent balance between visuals and text. Being fairly familiar with saltwater species, we were excited to see the inclusion of freshwater species in the Fish Up Close section. My son is eager to try out the Junior Scientists in Action sections, which include simple experiments that support the content. Each topic has a Fish Bite or a fun fact that adds an interesting morsel of information. The content diversity is what makes this book so useful. As a middle school biology teacher and mom of a Jr. Scientist, this book is a fun and educational addition to our library!" --Allison P. Sill, middle school biology teacher
