Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–Full-page, realistic paintings face white pages with simple sentences. A basic description of what makes an animal a crustacean is followed by explanations of how these invertebrates use their senses, move around, protect themselves, find food, and fit into our world. Done in bright watercolors, the illustrations give a sense of these creatures' different habitats, and captions identify all of the species shown by their common names. An afterword reprints each painting in a small black-and-white version and provides more facts about the specific animals and processes depicted. This is an excellent example of easy nonfiction, perfect for beginning readers or for sharing aloud with budding naturalists.–Susan Oliver, Tampa-Hillsborough Public Library System, FL

PreS-Gr. 2. Each book in the Sills' dependable About . . . series provides a simple, straightforward introduction to one class of animals. This attractive, informative book presents the physical characteristics of all crustaceans as well as the special features of a few species. Precisely delineated and often quite handsome, the watercolor paintings on the right-hand pages show lobsters, crabs, krill, barnacles, pill bugs, and other members of the clan in action. The facing pages carry the large-print text, usually just one sentence per spread. The five-page afterword refers back to each of the 15 color plates, here reproduced as small, black-and-white pictures, with a paragraph of information on the species pictured. The clarity of layout, text, and illustration gives this book an accessible look, while the quality of the presentation makes it well worth sharing in the classroom. Carolyn Phelan
