(4) K-3 Afraid of the Water series. Providing a variety of reasons to stay out of the water, these vivid texts explore different dangerous ocean dwellers. Each volume begins with a description of how someone was bitten and/or poisoned by the title creature. The texts continue by explaining each animal's anatomy and behavior. Vivid underwater photos provide close-up looks and are more compelling than the somewhat scattered writing. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Afraid of the Water titles: Moray Eel, Blue-Ringed Octopus, Box Jellyfish, and Portuguese Man-of-War.
