(4) K-3 No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates series. This series introduces ocean-dwelling invertebrates. The text is overly simple but generously spaced for beginning readers, offering basic facts about habitats, food, and defense mechanisms. Enhanced color gives the photos an unnatural look, an effect that detracts from the series's nonfiction intent. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these No Backbone! The World of Invertebrates titles: Crawling Crabs, Gooey Jellyfish[cf], Prickly Sea Stars, Slimy Sea Slugs, Squirting Squids, and Squishy Sponges.
