(3) 4-6 Photographs by Wolcott Henry. This introduction to some of the smaller, less well known sea creatures also helps familiarize readers with the processes of biological categorization and grouping. Each group ("soft-bodied critters," "spiny-skinned critters") is well illustrated with color photos and drawings, and Earle's text is engaging. A handy classification chart provides an overview of the marine phyla discussed.

(3) K-3 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.
