The Winking, Blinking Sea: All about Bioluminescence

32 pp. | Lerner/Millbrook | April, 2000 | Library ISBN 0-7613-1550-0 $$20.90
(4) K-3 Sharp color photos display a gallery of bioluminescent sea creatures. The accompanying text identifies the various creatures (e.g., fire worm, flashlight fish, glass jellyfish) and describes how they use bioluminescence as camouflage, to attract mates, or even as a lure for prey. More geographical context for the different species would have been helpful, but this photo-essay offers an engaging glimpse at this underwater world.
