Attractive color photos of different kinds of fish illustrate this introductory biology book; the two to four sentences of basic information on each page are supplemented by captions and boxed facts. After distinguishing fish from other classes of animal, the text goes on to describe "Where Fish Live," "Catching a Meal," "Fish Young," and "Fish Pets." A scale at the end shows relative size.
