This cautionary counting book features dramatically stylized sea creatures--many threatened or endangered--using only three contrasting colors: black, blue, and white. The pages show a large numeral from one to ten configured from a sea creature, with accompanying scientific information, augmented by end matter. This handsome, useful book is for an older audience than the format would suggest. Reading list, websites.
