(4) K-3 Discover Science series. This volume contains basic facts about oceans, tides, fish, sea birds, and water pollution. The information could be better organized; it's all rather random. Many photographs, a quiz, and several activities (some of which--e.g., making sea slugs out of marzipan--are more silly than scientific) are included. This revised edition was originally part of the Kingfisher Young Knowledge series. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
