Product Description: A fierce cat shark. A coy parrotfish. Two serene sergeant majors. Who would believe that underwater creatures come in so many different shapes and sizes? Some are beautiful, some are monstrous--all are fascinating. A fun, rhythmic text and sharply detailed full-color photos introduce over 70 of these intriguing creatures.
photos of fish This book was a of little use to me so I passed it on the the thrift store. A much better book on fish faces is Fishface by David Doubilet published by www.Phaidon.com. Hundreds of spectacular photos shane
Facinating Underwater Photographs, Unremarkable Text The creator of this book is a marine biologist, and the colorful overlays of his underwater photographs are so interesting, they make the text's general lack of flow (hence, the three star rating) seem less important. Both rare and more familiar fish are showcased, and notes in the back of the book identify them all. Some of the more fierce-looking fish presented are so intense they might be scary to sensitive younger readers, but they were not so for my two-year-old, who really liked puring over all the pages of this book.
