Reviews

[Lisa · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is 30 years old, has only 6 color photos within, and is written to the reader as though they're observing inside the tide pool. I like other Bendick titles but this one didn't engage me. I did learn new things and there are a lot of nice black and white drawings but they are intermixed in a confusing way with the text. Overall I don't think I'd read it again.
