Science Books & Films
TWO STARS! I'm particularly fond of books for beginning readers and budding nature lovers that highlight animals not warm and cuddly, but beautiful and wonderful nonetheless, such as jellyfishes and starfishes. . . .young readers can have these marine animals come alive through simple but surprisingly accurate texts, illustrated by well-chosen large, full-color photographs. . . .Most young readers are probably familiar with the fish characters Nemo and Dory from the Disney film Finding Nemo. Now they will meet the real fishes face to face: clown fish and regal tangs! Being able to read the texts that describe true colors, food, homes, and behavior of both these tropical reef fishes should be a rewarding supplement to the animated feature.
