(4) K-3 Illustrated by Crista Forest. Arnold's clear text explains that electric fish, such as eels, knife fish, and catfish, have an extra sense--an electric sense--that they use for defending themselves, stunning and/or finding their prey, navigating, and communicating. Unfortunately, the dark paintings make these sea creatures, which can be visually exciting, look muddy and formless. A list of Internet sources is included. Glos.
