This book gives the reader a first hand view of the elusivehorseshoe crab! It deftly covers the anatomy, characteristics, range,and issues surrounding the little talked about, but much studied creature. The photos and text are outstanding, the best I've seen so far. I am a Biology teacher in Delaware, and find this book an invaluable addition to my Delaware Bay Ecology curriculum. This book will help all people interested in the crab to learn and understand its plight!

I really liked this book. It was very detailed and the pictures were great. I especially liked learning about horseshoe crabs' cool blue blood. I was really interested to learn about how migrating birds depend on them too. If you like horseshoe crabs, and you SHOULD, this is the book for you.

Blue blood has always signified a quality of "high flutancy" and the quality of the information in this book is EXTRAORDINARY. I really learned alot reading Ms. Dunlap's book. Since the two major factors (The BLUE BLOOD) and MIGRATORY factors
have been included within the recommendations of other parties, I need not elaborate. This is a worthwhile read for people of all ages!
