The full color illustrations and brief, interesting descriptions make this a great gift for young fish enthusiasts and a wonderful resource for reports.

This review is from: Fishes (Golden Guide) (Paperback)
My six year old son loves this book. He nearly wore out a copy from the local library before we purchased this for him. It's not a complete guide (he wouldn't be able to carry it around in his school bag if it were!) but it more than satisfies his curiosity in fish and different species. He enjoys the pictures, but the descriptions also answer his major questions (how big is it, what does it eat, where does it live, etc). If you're looking for in-depth, textbook descriptions, you'll want something else, but if you would like a basic, "what kind of fish is that" book for North American fish, this is great.
