Disgusting Hagfish

24 pp. | Bearport | August, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-1-59716-719-2 $21.28
(4) K-3 Gross-Out Defenses series. As if the look of the hagfish isn't off-putting enough, this creature also produces and shoots slime. Its nasty sliming function is the book's (sensationalized) focus; habitat, diet, and young are also covered. Short sentences of main text, accompanied by large and vibrant photographs, are easy to read; sidebars are a little less accessible to the intended emergent reader audience. Reading list. Glos., ind.
