Photographs by
Wolcott Henry.
Earle and Henry present an introduction to common fish found in a coral reef. Each double-page spread provides a colorful up-close-and-personal photograph with accompanying basic facts about the sea creature. Henry's photographs immediately draw the reader's attention. A map designating locales of coral reefs around the world is a helpful addition.

Illustrated by
C. F. Payne.
Bee, an orphan raising eight siblings in the West in 1893, longs to engineer the trains on which she loads freight, and one day her chance arrives. Caricatures in the illustrations effectively complement this well-told narrative. The author's note has an accompanying photograph of women railroad workers in California who inspired the story.
