Fish

What is the largest fish of all? Why must sharks and rays constantly move? Why do catfish have whiskers? Which fish live in the open ocean, and which live close to shore? Fish introduces readers to fish and their physical characteristics. Students learn about life cycle, behaviors, and adaptations of fishes to various underwater habitats. The volume’s special features include maps, diagrams, fun facts, glossary, resource list, and index.

How do animals hunt, escape, and communicate? And how do scientists distinguish one animal group from another? World Book’s acclaimed Animal Lives series introduces the main animal groups to students with a primary reading level of grades 3 to 5 and teaches them basic principles of scientific classification.
