School Library Journal Review for No Backbone! Marine

Appealing introductions. Each overview gets right to the point with simple sentences that define and describe the animals’ features. To reinforce the written definition, a splashy full-color photograph appears on the facing page. Although Lunis points out that the term “sea star” is preferred over starfish in Prickly Sea Stars, Gooey Jellyfish states that “jellyfish” is still used even though jellies are definitely not fish. All in all, these are fun and useful sources of information for young scientists and beach goers.
