Description
Frogfish are unlike any other fish instead of swimming, they walk along the ocean floor on their fins. This book explores the unique lives of these fascinating creatures, from their unusual movement to their amazing camouflage abilities. Vivid photographs and simple text help young readers discover how frogfish survive in their underwater world.
Quick Summary
Kids who can't get enough of weird ocean critters will be drawn in by the bright, close-up photos of a frogfish that look almost like a cartoon. Colleen Sexton keeps the text short and simple, just a handful of words per page, so beginning readers feel confident turning the pages on their own. The book mixes a few surprising facts like how frogfish can change color to hide and how they lure prey with a built-in lure into a story that's more about discovery than a plot. There's nothing scary, just a fun, friendly look at an oddball fish that makes it a good fit for a read-aloud or a solo read for kids in kindergarten through third grade. If your child liked other animal picture books like *Shark Lady* or the National Geographic Kids ocean series, they'll find this one just as entertaining.
