Illustrated by
David Biedrzycki.
Using even numbers from zero to fifty as an organizing principle, Pallotta imparts a smattering of facts about a variety of unusual marine creatures, from giant manta rays to land-dwelling fishing bats. Although Biedrzycki creatively incorporates the escalating numbers of creatures in his digital illustrations, some, tiny and blurred in the background or partially shown, are difficult to spot. This is primarily a marine-science book.
