Real-Life Sea Monsters

(4) K-3 On My Own Science series. Illustrated by Ryan Durney. This book for independent readers introduces three legendary sea monsters--kraken, mermaids, and sea serpents--and compares them to actual sea creatures. Jango-Cohen explains how each real "monster" (giant squid, manatee, oarfish) fits into the legend, providing a range of details about each one. Slick-looking illustrations ably support the text with eye-catching sea animals, but human figures look lifeless. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos.
