Illustrated by
Hiroe Nakata.
In a basic but effective introduction to animal babies in a marine environment, this book contrasts traits of different species, for example, "Some change homes like you change clothes." A picture glossary provides details about the general statements made in the body of the book. Text and art synchronize well, although some of the watercolors are too impressionistic to be helpful.
