Ocean Animals from Head to Tail

Written by Stacey Roderick, Illustrated by Kwanchai Moriya

This is the second book in what appears to be a new, nonfiction series. There are no actual photos in the book, but the illustrations are enjoyable. The facts are interesting and written for young readers to understand. I have read many books on ocean-life and I learned a thing or two, such as: a sailfish can raise and lower its large fin. The end of the book includes a few facts on eight more creatures not highlighted in the main part of the book.
