Curious about Fishes

Reach for this book when your child starts asking those deep, literal questions about how animals work or if they are fascinated by what lies beneath the surface. It is the perfect bridge for a young observer who is moving from general animal stories toward a more analytical, scientific interest in the natural world. Created in collaboration with the Smithsonian, this guide uses high-contrast X-ray imagery to show the skeletal structures of various marine life. It teaches children how to categorize animals based on internal features, explaining the biological differences that define a fish. It is a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to anatomy and marine biology that honors a child's intelligence without being overly academic.
