OCEAN ANIMALS FROM HEAD TO TAIL

WRITTEN BY STACEY RODERICK

ILLUSTRATED BY KWANCHAI MORIYA

This nonfiction picture book uses a playful guessing game to introduce eight different ocean animals and some unique body parts. Readers are shown a close-up illustration of an unusual part of an animal's body and asked to guess its owner: “What ocean animal has a head like this?” The following spread reveals the animal's name (“A hammerhead shark!”), along with an illustration of the whole animal in its habitat. A bonus spread includes information on eight more ocean animals.
