Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-Gorgeous full-color underwater photos and a simple, readable text provide a fascinating introduction to some little-known and often unheralded marine organisms. Less detailed than Elizabeth Gowell's equally spectacular Sea Jellies (Watts, 1993; o.p.), George's informative narrative presents these gelatinous wanderers as mindless entities mostly at the mercy of tides and currents, opportunistic in their encounters with other marine food sources, and astonishing in their wide variety. For detailed data on reproduction or nematocysts, students will need to consult Gowell's title, but for novices meeting these insubstantial, fluid invertebrates for the first time, this colorful, attractive book will entice and inform.

From Booklist

Exceptionally handsome photographs light up the pages of this well-designed introduction to jellyfish. A few sentences or fragments, closely tied to the illustrations, appear on each spread. The words underscore the variety of jellyfish in the sea and point out their comparative simplicity, their special features, and their unforgettable beauty. The sometimes impressionistic, informative text begins by helping readers to imagine life as a jellyfish: "If you were a jellyfish you would have two choices--to go up or to go down. That's it. Two." An intriguing introduction to the subject. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Those Wonderous Jellies, February 27, 2001
By 
"fountainrock4" (Columbia, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jellies (Library Binding)
Magnificant photos and simple wonderful thoughts regarding jellyfish! The author does not fill the pages with words but instead allows the reader to enjoy the full page color photos. The author does however, include fantastic thought provoking ideas and insights into the world of jellyfish by allowing the reader to try and imagine just what it must be like to be a jellyfish. The author has captured truly glorious photos of all sorts of jellies. This book is written in a very simplistic way and is perfect for the biggest jellyfish fan that I know - my 7 year old son! We love this book and couldn't be more pleased.

This review is from: Jellies (Paperback)
What's it like to be a jellyfish? Here's an up-close look at the exquisite beauty of these undersea creatures for armchair naturalists. Just right for sharing aloud with young readers.
