2.0 out of 5 stars Too Short, Great Photos, October 22, 2003

By	bhallmar "bhallmarken" (tucson, az) - See all my reviews

Make sure you look at things like the number of pages before you buy books. This book only has 16. That is pretty short unless you are a 5 year old. I will say that this book has great photos of many different species of jellyfish. But it has almost zero information about them. I think children would like this book very much, but if you actually want to learn about jellyfish or collect a LOT of photos, get a bigger more substanial work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guide to the World of Jellies, April 24, 2002

By A Customer

This book,as small as it is, is a "giant" of information and beautiful pictures of a life form that is little known to us. The variety of jellies examined here is the tip of the "jelly iceberg"...a wonderful introduction to the amazing world of invertebrates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thin Book, Big on Imagery, October 2, 2009

This guide is a thin, lavishly illustrated, light introduction to the world of jellyfish. Produced by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, it hosts many beautiful, full color photo, though it is less than 20 pages in length. It does provide some latin names and brief information on certain jellyfish species--so don't expect it to be a detailed "field guide" for jellyfish types. It is, however, a visually wonderful little book that is great for jellyfish fans.
