Let's face it! Seahorses are one of the most fascinating creatures there are! Who would credit something that looks like this is actually a fish! It is not even covered with scales but bony plates. They are also not good swimmers! They have no teeth so have to swallow their food whole.Ever tried moving your eyes independently? Seahorses can! They are also great at camouflage. Of course the male seahorse is the one who carries the eggs but did you know a baby seahorse is called a Fry?Short and to the point this book is a wonderful way to learn the basics about the seahorse whilst also improving reading skills! Real photos with clear, bold text make this book very appealing to children.Please note that this book is designed as a reading book for young children. If your child is older and wants to learn about the seahorse in greater detail then you will likely be disappointed in this book. For what this book is intended for it is really good but for more in depth knowledge then it is not.
