(3) K-3 Photographs by Andrew Martinez. This thoughtful book concerns marine life during a twenty-four-hour period at an abandoned pier in the Gulf of Maine. From plankton to the predacious wolffish, Erikson explains the animals' salient features, such as "Mister Mom" behavior of the male radiated shanny. Numerous underwater color photos illustrate each page. Before-and-after composite illustrations ask readers to spot changes from one morning to the next.
