PreS-Gr 2-A simple, handsome book. Each spread consists of a brief sentence about fish life, anatomy, or behavior and a full-page, full-bleed watercolor painting. The text begins, "Fish live in water," and faces a picture of a brown trout. The specific form is identified in small italics at the bottom of the text page. More details and small black-and-white photos are included in an afterword. This pleasant title is a good companion to Robert Snedden's What Is a Fish? (Sierra Club, 1993) and Jim Arnosky's Crinkleroot's 25 Fish Every Child Should Know (S & S, 1993).-Jean Pollock, King Country Library System, Seattle, WA Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
