(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chad Wallace. This elegant picture book chronicles the life of a male sea horse, touching on growth, mating, "pregnancy" (male sea horses carry eggs), and birthing process. Though informative, the text is rife with lyrical language (e.g., of the mating ritual: "he waltzes around her to music only they can hear"). Soft-edged digital illustrations draw the reader into a dreamlike underwater world. Websites. Glos.
