The Most Amazing Creature in the Sea

Brenda Z.

This book asks readers to compare sea creatures through unusual traits. It considers an animal with powerful venom, another known for deep diving, one with blue blood, and one with rotating eyes. Rather than naming a single winner at the outset, it frames the question of which ocean creature is the greatest through these different abilities and features. The focus is on the varied qualities found among animals in the sea.
