Jellyfish

48 pp. | Children's Press | March, 1999 | Library ISBN 0-516-20676-1 $$21.00
(4) K-3 True Book series. Landau gives basic information on jellyfish locomotion and diet and discusses what makes them different from other sea creatures. The information is dry and not always clear: a double-page spread on the Portuguese man-of-war states the animal isn't a jellyfish but never explains why. Eye-catching color photos are the most intriguing aspect of an otherwise adequate book. A list of online sites is appended. Bib., glos., ind.
