Eye-catching colours
This hardcover book had a sparkly cover and bright, bold pictures throughout. It's one of the first books my two-and-a-half year old reaches for. The story is brief enough to keep the attention of a toddler, but adults wont be overly bored after many repeated readings. The variety of characters illustrated on the pages keeps children interested in the book even without someone to read to them. A great treasure at a decent price.

Wonderful illustrations and Great story to boot
Very well conceived book. My child loves looking at the pictures and enjoys pointing out the missing letters. A book for kids to treasure.

GETS KIDS THINKING

Book Description

The oceans of the Jurassic world were filled with nightmarish creatures. Plesiosaurs, long-necked reptiles measuring up to twenty-five feet long, ate fish -- and each other. The 40-foot-long Kronosaurus and the 45-foot-long Liopleurodon were ferocious predators with razor-sharp teeth. They ate anything they could catch.

Alongside these megapredators swam Hybodus, whose descendants include the great white sharks of today. Hybodus was not the largest hunter in the Jurassic seas, but it was fearless. Hybodus would attack anything.

This is the story of a female Hybodus and her struggle to survive. She must find a way to keep from being eaten, even as she hunts for food herself. She must fight off a Liopleurodon that attempts to take over her hunting grounds. And she must find a way to keep herself, and her unborn baby, safe in a place where even the deadliest of hunters can become meals for other predators. Discover how she responds to the challenges -- and survives.

The CopyCat Fish
I like this book because it has bright colors and great illustrations. It shows kids when you share with other kids that they will somehow repay you. It also hints to your children that you can be yourself, and don't change for other people. It's fairly easy. I would recommend it to this book to kids ages 3-9. It's a very cute book.

Learning about salmon
"The Salmon," by Sabrina Crewe, is a good book for children. The book combines a simple text with many full-color photographs, and also includes non-photographic illustrations by Colin Newman. This book focuses on the sockeye salmon.

The book begins with a female salmon who has laid her eggs. We see the tiny salmon embryos in their transparent eggs. The book follows the salmon through their entire life cycle. Other helpful features of the book include a glossary, an index, a map showing the habitat and migratory routes of the sockeye salmon, and a diagram showing each part of a salmon's external body and its function. Overall, a good educational resource. ... Read more

Basic information about bettas with nice pictures
This book offers basic information to starting hobbyists about the physiology, care, maintenance and breeding of the Betta splendens species, as well as the rearing of fry.The chapter on show standards and betta competitions has very nice pictures, including the albino stain that was successfully bred in Japan by Tanaka in 1994.

Not Very Informative
For anyone looking to find a detailed resource on the care of betta splendens, this book is not for you. A great deal of space in this book is devoted to the history of the fish, how they fight with other males (there are even explicit pictures of this process, which I was certainly not interested in seeing), and how to breed them. The sections covering their care are woefully lacking - the page on diseases merely lists the ailments and then offers a recommendation for another book in which to find more information. The tone of this book also stunned me - it is apparent that the author thinks of these fish as a source of income rather than as pets. Mention is made of fish that are not "exciting or saleable," and how sub-standard hatchlings should be culled or disposed of. I was quite offended by this - even the most dully-colored betta could find a happy home somewhere! The only reason I'm giving this book one star at all is because there are a lot of beautiful photos inside. It looks more like a picture book than anything else, actually. Very disappointing.

Pretty Good
I thought this book was pretty good. It showed you a lot of good pictures of the betta fish and it was very helpful in the history of betta fish, but some of the stuff that i was looking for in it, wasn't there, it just had a lot of pictures, and the history of bettas, it took up like 7 pages on the history where as they only did 3 sentences on how to take care of them!! if you are just looking for cool and good pictures of betta fish then you should buy this book, but if you are looking for information on betta fish then maybe you should look for a differnt boook, it was a great book, just not what i was looking for. I love betta fish and i think they are the cooles fish ever!

Leaves something to be desired.
After I rescued 2 beta fish from very poor conditions, I needed some really good information on their care. I did not find it in this book. It has a couple paragraphs about diseases, absolutely no charts or diagrams for biology or anything, and while the pictures were really beautiful, they had nothing to do with the topic on the same pages. There is a lot about how to have beta fights, and speaks of it in a very condoning tone! This is quite cruel and inhumane. There is I grant you some decent very basic info that you could glean off the internet yourself in an hour or two.

A very good book for the beginner
This is an excellent book for the person who knows nothing about Siamese Fighting Fish.It gives a good general knowledge.The pictures were excellent also. It left me wanting to know more. ... Read more
