REVIEWS
via Amazon.com (c) 2007 – “I found that this book offers not only the basics on seahorses but it probes into the biology, habitats, courtship rituals, and mythology associated with seahorses. Also touched upon, are the dangers that seahorses face due to loss of habitat, pollution and use of seahorses in novelty items and medicine. This book is great for anyone wanting to know more about these interesting animals. Also great for students doing research or reports.”

DESCRIPTION
Amazing Jellies presents an entertaining and authoritative look into the little-known world of what we commonly, but incorrectly, have known as jellyfish. Jellies are among the most beautiful and unusual animals on earth. They are found in all the oceans of the world and even in some freshwater lakes and rivers.
They come in all sizes, from 3mm to 12 feet across and 100 feet long. They are 95 percent water, with a little bit of protein, oil, and salt. Jellies have lived on the earth for millions of years, and their fossils have been found in rocks 650 million years old. They have no brain, no liver, no kidneys, no heart, no lungs, or gills. They do not need blood, have no eyes, nose or tongue. They can be lethal and are nearly always beautiful.
REVIEWS
via Amazon.com (c) 2006 – “I have recently begun to study jellyfish, at this point more interested in photographs and brief descriptions rather than full pages of scientific data. My study is writer-related rather than scientifically related, so ‘Amazing Jellies’ was perfect for my goal. It is also nice if you are looking for a special jelly book for a school age child with advanced reading skills. ”
