Author and former elementary school teacher Cathryn Sill and her husband, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill, offer young readers a first glimpse into the natural world of mollusks in their latest book in the acclaimed About… series.
In simple, easy-to-understand language children learn what mollusks are, how they look, how they move, what they eat, and where they live.
The beautifully detailed, full-color illustrations reflect the vast diversity of the mollusk population-from a 16-foot-long Giant Pacific Octopus to an eight-inch-long Banana Slug-and present each in its natural habitat. The afterword, which provides details on the mollusks featured, will inspire young readers to learn more.
