Seahorse Fry
Deep under the ocean, a father seahorse gets ready to do something astonishing— he is going to give birth to his babies. Hundreds of them! The tiny seahorse fry emerge from their father’s pouch and swim off. So begins the life of a baby seahorse! In this coming-of-age introduction to these unusual fish, readers will learn how seahorse pairs bond for life, how dad gives birth to the couple’s babies, and how the little seahorses must take care of themselves as soon as they are born. The colorful interior spreads and gorgeous photos of seahorses are sure to delight emergent readers.
