Nature's Children (Grolier)
Description
This book describes the physical characteristics, habits, and habitats of shrimp.
Quick Summary
Shrimp are tiny powerhouses that can swim backward, glow in the dark, and snap their tails faster than a rubber band, making this book a window into a world most kids have never seen up close. Readers will discover mind-blowing facts about these colorful crustaceans, from how they build underwater castles to why some shrimp live inside fish mouths like tiny roommates. If your kid loves the Magic School Bus series or any book that turns science into a treasure hunt, they'll be hooked from the first page. Perfect for kids ages 8 to 12 in grades 3 through 7 who are curious about ocean life and love impressing friends with weird animal facts.
