Seahorses

Fins flutter ... Bony tail curls ... Meet the seahorse! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these fantastic fish. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the ocean animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Welsh legend about the mythical hippocamp adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
