(4) K-3 Animal Kingdom series. There's not an enormous amount of information to be gleaned from this superficial thirty-two-page survey of fish. Lured by the abundant, handsome color photographs, newly independent readers may enjoy the simply written, generalized statements about habitats, procreation, survival mechanisms, and more. This is an attractive book with too little zoological specificity to be of much use to report writers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
