(4) 4-6 Illustrated by John Dykes. This collection of facts about marine life, tides, and ocean currents has photographs of Bill Nye on every page. Fans of the television show will recognize the features "Try This!" (activities) and "Check it Out!" (factual asides), though the experiments suggested are disappointingly routine or impractical. The accompanying color illustrations are quieter than the chatty text.
