\"\"Just Like Us! Fish<\/strong><\/em>
\nby Bridget Heos; illus. by David Clark
\n32 pages; ages 4-7
\nHMH Books for Young Readers, 2018<\/p>\n

People walk on land and need air to breathe. Fish, on the other hand, have fins and spend their whole lives underwater. So how could we be anything alike?<\/em><\/p>\n

Bridget Heos gives us the inside scoop. She reveals secrets of breathing underwater, and tricks of hunting for food. We learn how to hide from predators and how to make friends with fierce fish.<\/p>\n

What I like about this book:<\/strong> It’s fun! Between Bridget’s zany section headings (Peanut Butter and Jellyfish) and David Clark’s cartoony illustrations, we learn lots of stuff about fish and their underwater neighbors. We meet clown fish, sunfish, and cleaner wrasses. What I like about David’s illustrations is the way he combines his cartoon fish with photos of real fish. And of course there’s Back Matter – a glossary, and some web articles and books for curious icthyologists-in-training.<\/p>\n

Head over to Archimedes Notebook<\/a> to check out a book on sharks, and some Beyond-the-Book activities.<\/p>\n
