Crinkleroot's 25 Fish Every Child Should Know

Jim Arnosky is a naturalist who believes that, just as every child needs to know his/her numbers and letters, he or she should also “learn to recognize a core group of animals.”Knowing these animals will give a child “a greater and lasting appreciation and knowledge of the animal kingdom.”In these days when people are concerned that our children are growing up deprived of a nature connection, Jim Arnosky’s books are wonderful tools.This book introduces a child (and possibly a parent, too) to 25 fish.Each fish is beautifully drawn and labeled so a child could get to know them and tell them apart as easily as a bear from a squirrel.
