Close-up color photos accompany this basic, easy-to-read introduction to the physical characteristics, behavior, and habitat of this fish. Questions meant to engage the reader interrupt the flow of the text and are occasionally condescending, but overall, this is adequate for first report writers. A habitat map and labeled drawing conclude the book. Glos.
