Synopsis
Fish do the wildest things! (And you thought all they did was swim...)
In Fish Tricks, learn how fish use sound, color, and chemicals to talk to each other and camouflage and toxins to discourage predators. Many have cool body adaptations that help them find food and take care of their young.
Meet sea dragons and flatfish that use camouflage to hide from predators. Learn about archerfish that can knock land insects into the water with streams of spit, and anglerfish that grow glow-in-the-dark fishing lines from their heads to lure prey. Laugh at toadfish that make grunting and whistling sounds to attract mates and remora fish with suction cups on their fins that help them stick onto sharks and turtles. Read about fish parents such as cichlids that feed their young with mucus secreted onto their scales and cardinal fish that protect their eggs in their mouths.
Under the sea, a whole world of wonder exists that will fascinate the inquisitive mind of every child. Fish Tricks includes a glossary, an index, and fun learn-more adventures.

From School Library Journal
Gr 3 Up—This volume swims in deep and shallow waters to introduce a variety of fish species, along with what traits make each type special. Divided into four sections, the work begins with common characteristics of fish, anatomy, and more before moving on to noteworthy survival tactics and adaptations. Each chapter consists of a spread with a large illustration, accompanied by several paragraphs of information. Size or feature comparisons with other aquatic life will further assist readers in their comprehension. Unfortunately, the vocabulary is a bit advanced for the intended audience. However, the scientific names are included in the back matter. VERDICT Marine life enthusiasts will enjoy this title on the uncanny abilities of fish. Recommended for elementary-age animal and science collections.—Kristin Unruh, Siersma Elementary School, Warren, MI
